The Tiger baseball team were back in action Wednesday afternoon when they hosted the Reivers of Iowa Western Community College at Shawn Williams Field. The Tigers had dropped two games to the Reivers on Thursday, April 5 and dropped both games Wednesday night, falling 16-1 in game one and 14-6 in game two.

Game One: Lost 16-1

The MCC pitchers struggled all day with the Reivers lineup, giving up 15 hits in game one. The Tigers recorded six hits as a team, with Marving Serrano and Brodie Paulson leading the way going 2-3 at the plate. Candido Encarnacion banged in the lone run for the Tigers bringing in Marving Serrano in the third inning. The Reivers were on the board early and often in game one, scoring a single run in the first inning before plating two runs in the 2^nd, 3^rd, and 4^th innings, scored three in the 5^th and exploded in the 6^th with six runs.  

Game Two: Lost 14-6

The Tigers struggles continued in game two, getting down five runs in the first inning to a powerful lineup. The Tigers improved at the plate and that resulted in runs, scoring in the first four innings with help from Joel Torrealba who went 3-3 at the plate with a double and home run on the day. Greg Glass pitched a solid three innings for the Tigers, throwing 29 strikes on 48 pitches.
