Baseball's Bats Held in Check in Marietta

(MARIETTA, OH)--Mount Union's baseball team suffered 6-0 and 10-0 Ohio Athletic Conference losses at No. 10 in the nation Marietta College Saturday at Don Schaly Stadium in Marietta.

Marietta now stands at 13-3 overall and 2-0 in the OAC, while Mount Union falls to 7-6 overall and 0-2 in the OAC.

The Pioneers got great pitching performances from Mark Williams and Austin Blaski.  Williams tossed a complete game five-hitter in the game one shutout, while Blaski allowed only six hits over eight innings to get the win in game two.

Mount Union hurler Mark Sabatino (Mayfield Hts/Mayfield) had a solid outing in game one as he went the distance and allowed only eight hits, but the lack of offense along with four Raider errors in the field sent him to his first loss of the season (3-1).

Cody Colly (Massillon/Massillon Washington) suffered a similar fate in game two as he struck out four, surrendered four earned runs and gave up eight hits over five innings.  The defense had three errors behind him that resulted in three unearned runs.

At the plate, Matt Tracy (Pittsburgh/Central Catholic) had two of Mount Union's five hits in game one and Greg Ferrell (Uniontown/Green) extended his school-record hitting streak to 21 games.

Mount Union starts a three-game homestand Tuesday at 4 pm against Walsh at 23rd Street Field in Alliance.
