VERONA, Wis. – Although the Edgewood College offense looked strong on Tuesday, the Eagles' bats largely disappeared in Wednesday's non-conference doubleheader against Eureka College. Edgewood College had just eight hits in two games, dropping the first game to the Red Devils 6-5, and the second game 5-0.

After Eureka College (8-11-1) took a 4-0 lead in the top of the third inning of game one, the Eagles immediately cut the lead in half in the bottom of the inning. The Eagles loaded the bases with one out and scored a run when the Red Devils committed an error on Trenton Medrano's ground ball. The Eagles added another run on a Bryan Sternig bases loaded walk.

Casey Willis provided a sacrifice fly to score Sam McGill in the fifth inning, and Nick Cheaney tied the game with an RBI single in the sixth. After neither team scored in the seventh, the teams went to extra innings. In the eighth, the Eagles committed two errors which led to two unearned runs. Jeff Tucker led off the bottom of the seventh with a hit by pitch and eventually scored a sacrifice fly by Sternig, but the Eagles couldn't push across the tying run.

Cheaney and Lamont each had two hits for the Eagles while Sternig had two runs batted in. Logan Pitts pitched into the sixth inning for the Eagles, allowing four earned runs and striking out five batters. Will Mossa pitched the seventh and eighth innings and ended up with the loss.

In game two, the Eagles managed only four hits. Alex Fowler and Callen Gavic each had leadoff hits in the second and third innings, but Edgewood College couldn't advance them further. Strenig and Tucker had the Eagles other two hits. Connor Schatzberg allowed just one earned run in 3.1 innings with one strikeout in taking the loss.

Edgewood College returns to NACC play this weekend. Weather permitting, the Eagles travel to Dominican University on Saturday and host Concordia University Wisconsin on Sunday at Stampfl Field.
