LAKE WALES,
FL – The Titans (7-9) dropped their first game of the day 1-5 in a seven inning
non-conference game against conference foe Purdue Northwest University (6-6).
IUSB
received a great effort from Junior RHP Paul Geha going 5 innings allowing 4
runs, 3 earned, and a hand full of strikeouts before being replaced by Freshman
John Ward due to a high pitch count.
Ward made
his second appearance in as many games, throwing 2 innings giving up 1 run, 0
earned. Ward is really starting to prove himself as an asset out of the bullpen
for the Titans this trip.
The offense
for the Titans seemed to be non-existent only scrapping together 3 hits for 1
run that came on a Chris Mangus sacrifice fly in the bottom of the seventh.
Nick Kellams, Austin Thomas, and Sammy Nieves each had one hit for IUSB.
IUSB faces Webber
International at 7pm for the last game of their spring trip. The Titans are
currently 1-6 in Florida and are seeking a victory to end the trip on a high
note.
