Mount Union College's baseball team (11-6) fell by a score of 6-2 to Thiel College (11-7) on Wednesday, April 2 at Thurman Munson Stadium in Canton, Ohio.

The Raiders jumped out to an early 1-0 lead on a RBI single by junior/first baseman Cory Slaybaugh in the bottom of the first inning.

Thiel pitching would then hold the Purple and White in check as they put up six runs to give them the lead 6-1 going in to the bottom of the ninth inning.

Mount Union would only add one more run on a sacrifice fly by junior/third baseman Nate McFarland to cut the lead to 6-2, but could get no closer.

Mount Union will resume OAC play on Saturday, April 5 as it hosts Capital for a doubleheader. The first pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m.
