BASEBALL: Scots drop two at Albion

Sophomore pitcher Joe Thiry (Grand Rapids/Grand Rapids Christian) threw a complete game, two hitter for the Scots in the first game 5-3 loss. The two hits given up were the least amount any pitcher had allowed against Albion on the season, however timely hitting following free passes led to Albion scoring five runs on only two hits and taking the win.

Sophomore Jeremy Stephens (Maple Rapids/Fulton-Middleton) had a stellar day at the plate going three for three with an RBI while senior catcher Mike Slesinski (Milford) went two for three, scoring two runs for the Scots in the losing effort.

Stephens hot day continued in the second game has he notched three more hits, two more RBI's, and a run scored in the 6-4 Scots' loss.

Junior Wade Slavik (Ashley/Fulton-Middleton) got the loss for the Scots giving up six earned off ten hits in four and two thirds innings pitched. Senior Tom Montgomery (Decatur, Ill./Big Rapids) threw one and a third no runn innings in relief for the Scots.

The Scots host Kalamazoo College on May 2 for the first of three double headers Alma must fit in this week. The game is scheduled to start at 1 p.m.
