BOX SCORE

In game two, the Pioneers fell behind early and couldn't recover as they struggled to string together any offense until late in the game.

Chris James took the loss on the mound in his season debut.

One bright spot in game two was freshman Taylor Paepke and Alex Nockerts recording their first collegiate hits in the loss.

Head Coach Stein Rear talked about the loss. "We struggled at times today and had a tough time stringing hits together, especially in game two. Pitching wise we fell behind hitters and issued too many walks in the second game. We continue to play well defensively, but just didn't have a complete effort today."
