ORLANDO, Fla. - A rough day for the Tigers started with two errors in the bottom of the first, opening the door to Keystone to run away with an 8-3 victory over Wittenberg.
Two errors in the bottom of the first allowed Keystone to score three runs in their first turn at bat. In the opening half inning, Wittenberg scored one, but by the time the Tigers could strike again in the third, Keystone had already added two more.
Sophomore designated hitter A.J. Bush (Troy, Ohio/Troy)and senior shortstop Joel Puthoff (Houston, Ohio/Russia)both went 2-4 from the plate, while Puthoff and junior outfielder Patrick Williams (Plainfield, Ind./Plainfield) both put RBI on the board.
The Tigers play once more in Florida before returning home to Springfield where they will await a March 15 matchup with Capital at Carleton Davidson Stadium. On Saturday they take on Sewanee at 10 a.m. in the spring break finale.
