SPRINGFIELD, Ohio—Wittenberg baseball split a four game series against the Lords of Kenyon College over the weekend. While the first two games took place in Gambier, the Lords came to Springfield to complete the series on Sunday, but the day's games did not count towards either team's NCAC record as they were being made up from a previously scheduled rainout.  Wittenberg managed to win the second game of each double-header on back to back days, earning a split over the weekend. Kenyon topped the Tigers 5-2 in game one, while the Tigers came back to bite the Lords 4-3 in game two. Game three was a laugher, as the Lords were all over the Tigers 14-3, but it was the Tigers who got the last laugh at home, downing Kenyon in a slugfest 14-11. Wittenberg is now 9-21 overall in 2016.
