JOPLIN, Mo. -- The Fort Hays State University baseball team continued to struggle on the road and against Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association squads. They dropped a 6-4 decision to Missouri Southern State University in the final of a four-game series Sunday afternoon.
The Tigers are 1-3 in conference series, with the lone win against cellar dweller Truman State (Mo.) University. They have won one road contest all season.
Fort Hays held a 4-2 led through four innings, but three consecutive homers in the fifth gave the Lions a 6-4 victory. Missouri Southern won three of four games in the series. Fort Hays had a RBI groundout from senior third baseman Alex Harvey, RBI doubles by Greg Crowe and Dusty Washburn and a single by senior catcher AJ Levanduski.
Senior Brian Thompson started his second game of the season and first since he faced Colorado School of Mines on Feb. 14. He worked 41รขÑ3 innings and allowed five runs to drop to 0-3. Missouri Southern improved to 16-11 overall and 9-5 in the conference. The Tigers dropped to 14-16 and 6-10 in the MIAA. Fort Hays will return home for a four-game set against Southwest Baptist (Mo.) University this weekend at Larks Park. The Tigers will play two games Friday, with the first contest starting at 3 p.m., and two games Saturday.
