CU can't catch a break in losses to Cougars

MOUNT VERNON, Ohio - An errant throw in the bottom of the 7th inning was ruled out of play allowing Mount Vernon Nazarene to score the winning run to complete a sweep of an American Mideast Conference doubleheader against the struggling Yellow Jackets.

The host Cougars won by scores of 5-2 and 11-10. The more frustrating loss for Cedarville was the nightcap.

Tyler Rost delivered a two-out, two-run double in the top of the 7th inning to knot the slugfest at 10-10. In the bottom half, MVNU had runners on first and second and one out when the lead runner tagged up on a fly out to right field. The relay was thrown away into an area designated as out of play allowing the runner to cross home plate.

Nate Davenport hit a two-run homer for his 10th of the season - one shy of the school record. He totaled three RBI's as did Andrew York, who had two hits including a triple.

The Yellow Jackets, at one time 10 games over .500 this spring, have dropped seven straight and 11-of-12 to fall to 22-23 overall and 6-16 AMC. Mount Vernon Nazarene is 25-18 and 10-8 AMC. [GAME 2 BOXSCORE]

In the opener, Cedarville coughed up five errors leading to a pair of unearned runs in the 5-2 setback. Chris Ward was 2-for-3 with a double, but the Jackets came up with just four hits total. [GAME 1 BOXSCORE]
