ARKADELPHIA, Ark. – The Ouachita Tigers' baseball team (5-13, 3-6 GAC) lost both games of a doubleheader Saturday against the Arkansas Tech Wonder Boys (12-6, 9-0 GAC). The final score of the first game was 17-1 and the second game's score was 3-2. The two losses resulted in a series sweep for the Tigers.
Abe Young was the starting pitcher for the Tigers in the first game of the doubleheader and struck out five batters despite being awarded the loss.
Adam Bahloul started the second game for the Tigers and performed well, only allowing three runs and striking out two batters. Senior shortstop
Justin Weigle hit a home run for the Tigers and picked up two RBI's on the day.
The first game of the day was dominated by Tech and ended in the seventh inning due to the run rule being enforced. Tech opened the game with two unearned runs in the first inning, but the Tigers responded through an
Austin White RBI single in the bottom of the inning. That would be the only sliver of hope for the Tigers however, as Arkansas Tech piled onto their lead for the remainder of the game.
The second game was a much closer affair. Adam Bahoul started the game for the Tigers and held the Wonder Boys to three runs through six innings of play.
Justin Weigle homered in the bottom of the six inning to drive in two runs and close the score, but the Tigers were unable to pull out a win in the seventh inning.
The Tigers next game will be on Monday, Mar. 6 against Henderson. The Tigers will play away and the game will begin at 6 p.m.
