WALNUT RIDGE, Ark. - The Williams baseball team fell in both games against the Iowa Wesleyan Tigers on Thursday afternoon. They dropped game one 3-2 and game two 9-8. With the losses the Eagles are now 10-8 on the season.
Game One
The Tigers got on the board with a run in the top of the first, but that was all either team scored for a while as the game turned into a bit of a pitcher's dual. The Eagles were able to tie the game with an RBI bunt single from Isaac Williams in the fourth inning. The Tigers retook the lead with a two-run homerun in the top of the sixth. Williams rallied in the bottom half of the inning and got a run back off a sac fly by Dezmond Cordova, but that was all.
Ray Ochoa pitched 6.0 innings and gave up three runs off four hits, walked four and struck out six. Alex O'Brien pitched 1.0 inning of relief.
Game Two
Again the Tigers struck first with a run in the second and three runs in the fourth. The Eagles responded with a run in the fourth off a sac fly from Sam Philley. In the fifth, the Eagles hit back-to-back homeruns off the bats of Palmer Campbell and Williams, and got a RBI single from Philley to tie the game at four runs apiece. The Tigers quickly retook the lead as they scored five runs in the sixth. Williams got two runs back in the home half off a sac fly from Nick Allred and a RBI single from Wyatt LeDure. They got another run in the seventh off a RBI single from Cordova to make it a one-run ballgame, but that was it.
Caleb Suiter pitched 3.2 innings and gave up four runs off three hits, walked three and struck out five. Parker Jeffries pitched 1.1 innings of relief, walked two and struck out one.
