Late Rally Not Enough To Overcome Early Errors

Box Score
April 25, 2001


         The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville baseball team's five run eighth inning was not enough in a 11-9 loss to visiting Lindenwood University.
         The Cougars (30-19) committed five errors in the game, which translated into six unearned runs for the Lions.
         Lindenwood (25-16) scored a run in the top of the second inning on no hits, two errors and a wild pitch to go ahead 4-0. They scored again in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings to take an 11-4 lead.
         In the bottom of the eighth inning the Cougars pounded out five runs on five hits bring the score to 11-9. Josh Cate (Imperial, Mo.) led off the inning with a walk and was later forced out at second on a fielder's choice.
         The Cougars then had five consecutive hits, starting with Luke Humphrey's (Rantoul) single. He was followed by RBI singles to left field by Chad Opel (Edwardsville) and Mark Bugger (Edwardsville). Dave Crouthers (Edwardsville) then hit a third single to left field to load the bases. Nick Seibert (Worden) then hit a three-RBI double to the wall in left field for the Cougars final runs of the game.
         Six different Cougars went to the mound, with D.R. Berry getting the loss after giving up four runs, two of which were unearned, in two innings. Mark Quisenberry (Marquette Heights), Jon Huber (Witt) and Bret Giaudrone (Gilespie) combined for three and one-third shutout innings of relief. -siue-
