Baseball Falls to Cornell in MWC Doubleheader

GALESBURG, Illinois - The Prairie Fire baseball team dropped a conference doubleheader to Cornell 15-9 and 14-4 on Saturday.

The Rams held a 4-3 lead heading into the seventh inning of game one, but erupted for eight runs in the eighth to take a commanding lead. Knox rallied late with six runs in the ninth, but ended up dropping game one 15-9.

The Prairie Fire took a 2-1 lead in the second inning of the second game, but Cornell scored five runs in the third and three in the fourth to take a 9-2 lead. The Rams held on for a 14-4 victory.

Tucker Sams went toe-to-toe with his counterpart from the Rams on the mound in game one, but ended up the tough luck losing pitcher. He allowed five hits and two earned runs in 5.1 innings.

Matt Shover tallied four hits to lead Knox. Kendall Ballman added three hits, including an RBI triple. Ben Bucher picked up two hits and three RBI on the day. Chase Thies hit a solo home-run in game two.

"We had a few bad innings today," said associate head coach James Clark. "We have come a long way, but still have work to do. We are very close to putting everything together for a whole game."

Knox returns to action as they host Illinois College on April 20.
