WILMORE, Ky..--- Graduate student
Jackson Cole went seven innings with three strikeouts on Saturday afternoon in Wilmore, Ky., but Oberlin College (8-6) used 12 hits to take game one of the series over Asbury baseball (8-10), 10-3.
Oberlin scored four runs in the first inning on four hits and were then held scoreless by Cole with only three hits for the next six innings. Asbury's offense was held under double-digit hits for only the second time in seven games, scoring two runs on the day.
"Jackson kept us in the game today with a really impressive performance. Our defense was not what we need to beat a team like Oberlin, we will continue to get better and are looking forward to the rest of this series."
