McPherson, Kan. – The Tiger Baseball team welcomed the College of the Ozarks Bobcats to town on Thursday and Friday. Only two of the three scheduled games were played because of non-stop rain Friday morning.

Game 1, L 6-14
The Tigers showed their grit during this game, trailing for most of the game until they were able to tie it up in the 7^th inning. To get to that point, the Tigers slugged two homeruns by Iker Muniz and Noel Aquino and capitalized on multiple Bobcat errors. After trading scoreless half innings in the 8^th, the Bobcats struck for 8 runs in the 9^th inning to take a commanding 14-6 lead. They would go on to win the first game by this score.

Game 2, L 2-3
Nick Julian received the start on the mound for the Tigers in game 2. Julian allowed 2 runs in the 3^rd inning after a homerun by the Bobcats gave them the early lead. The Tigers responded in the next inning after Noel Aquino hit his second homerun of the series to cut the deficit to one. The Bobcats were threatening in the 5^th and would take advantage of a passed ball to extend their lead to 3-1. In the 6^th, the Tigers would tack on one run but could not tie the game. They would go on to drop this contest 3-2.

The Tigers (14-22, 6-14), will now turn their attention to the Collegiate Cup as they are set to take on McPherson College on Wednesday, April 9^th at 1:00PM.
