Pitching + Hitting+ More Hitting=Wins

After starting off the season with three straight losses the Bearcat baseball team has won 5 out of 7 at home, and as Sarah Knigga reports it's no surprise to the team that they started winning when they got home and started swinging the bat.

Bearcats drop season-opener to Purdue, 10-11

The Bearcats faced the Purdue Boilermakers in their first game of the Big East/Big Ten challenge in Florida earlier today. UC jumped out to an early 2-1 lead in the first inning, but Purdue came back with three runs in the bottom of the second to take a 2-4 lead. After several lead changes, the Bearcats had the lead going into the ninth with two outs before a walk-off single by Dan Black gave the boilermakers the win. 

Bearcat senior Mike Spina and sophomore Justin Riddell had two home runs apiece in the loss.

The Big East/Big Ten challenge continues tomorrow when the Bearcats face the Michigan Wolverines at 4:00
