If If's and buts were candy and nuts.....

Recap:
After battling back from a rough first inning, the Petrels dropped a heart breaker 9-7 to Adrian College which runs their losing streak to six games. A couple of walks, two errors and one hit gave Adrian a quick 5-0 lead in the first. But the Petrels came battling back to take a 7-5 lead with a couple of key hits from Evan Baker. Sean Tuttle went 6 innings giving up seven runs, two earned and allowed five hits. He did walk four batters which came back to haunt him...Nick Greenfield went the final three innings allowing one earned run and did not allow a hit. Once again three walks and a hit batter cost him in the end. The Petrels did pound out 10 hits, Ernst and Llano had three a piece and Baker had 2 hits and 2 RBI.

Lost in the box Score:
Once again the inability to make a few key plays did us in....Brandon McMichael making his first college start gave us a spark at the bottom of the lineup, don't let his 0-2 fool you....

Coach's Recap:
Well, your Petrels brought the enthusiasm to the field that we expect. Unfortunately it did not translate into a W. Bottom line we have to get better in the field, cut down our walks on the hill, cut down our strikeouts and get that big hit. Simply, right? We'll continue to work hard and get better. SCAC games start in two weeks. LaGrange this Wednesday at Anderson Field. I bet their ready for some revenge. Get ready boys, we started our first streak against them, lets start our next streak on Wednesday!!
