Four Bearcats Hit Homeruns; Errors Cost Both Games in Doubleheader at Rolla
 
Costly errors result in two losses at Missouri S&T Sunday afternoon. The Bearcats fell in game one, 11-5. The Miners recorded 5 runs in the bottom of the first and never lost the lead. The Bearcats closed the gap in the 4^th and 5^th, scoring 5 runs themselves. Rhys Cratty hit his 3^rd homerun of the season and Brenna Espy followed a couple batters later with his 3rd of the season as well. The one run game did not last long as the Miners answered back in the bottom of the 5^th with five more runs. 
 
In game 2, the Bearcats took an early lead when Colby Sneed led off the game with a homerun. Once again, the Miners powered back and scored 5 in the bottom of the 1^st. Sophomore Joe Wade recorded his 1^st homerun of his career in the 4^thand the Bearcats plated two runs in the 5^th to bring the score to 4-8. The Miners answered back again and scored 6 in the bottom of the 5^th which led to a final score of 14-4.
 
"We played a lot of baseball this week. We had 5 really bad innings. Our offense is starting to produce closer to the level we thought we could. Our pitching continues to be steady. We have to make some major strides defensively these next two weeks as we head into league play," said Coach Martin after the game. 
 
The Bearcats return to action on Tuesday when Ecclesia visits for an afternoon doubleheader.
