How It Happened
Franciscan made the trip to Muskingum for a non-conference doubleheader on Monday afternoon. Temperatures were in the 40s, which was a drastic change from the 80 degree weather for last week's games. The Fighting Muskies would not mind it as the jumped out to an early lead with four runs in the bottom of the first. The Barons would answer in the fourth. After a pair of singles, Samuel Tyler would move the runners over with a sacrifice bunt. Wade Stoehr would drive in Burke with a groundout to third base. Muskingum would answer with four more runs in the home half of the inning to take a 8-1 lead. That score would hold on to be our final in this seven inning contest. 

At the Plate
- Stoehr had two of the Barons five hits and the lone RBI.
- Brendan Burke has a hit in nine straight games.

On the Mound
- Starter Dominic Brandi pitched four innings with six earned runs on his line.
- Joseph Hurlbert allowed just one hit over two innings of scoreless relief.

How It Happened
Game two started in a similar fashion to game one with Muskingum taking an early 3-0 lead after two innings. The Barons would answer in a big way in the third. John Hall ripped a double before Falconite and Scavnivky would reach base to load them full of Barons. Hall would score on a wild pitch, and Burke would record the first out on a sacrifice fly. Tyler would double in a run, before Stoehr would add the second sacrifice fly of the inning. With two outs, the Barons would leep it up with Ferrance and Ferroni each driving in a run. That would give the Barons a 6-3 lead through three. 

The Barons would expand on the lead in the fourth. Watson and Stoehr would deliver RBI singles this inning, and Watson would later score on a wild pitch. The Barons would put another crooked number up to hold a 9-3 lead. 

The Fighting Muskies would rally with eight runs over the next two innings to retake the lead at 11-9. The Barons threatened in the seventh, as a one out single would cut the lead to one, but Muskingum would find the final two outs to hand Franciscan th e 11-10 loss.
