The Scots Baseball team traveled to Olivet College on Sunday for an MIAA doubleheader, one day after the Comets swept the Scots in a double dip at Klenk Park in Alma. The visitors won both games, 2-1 and 3-2 in eight innings, to gain a split of the weekend series. Both teams are now 2-2 in the MIAA and 5-7 overall in 2012.

In the first game, the Scots scored single runs in the fourth and the seventh innings, while the Comets notched a run in the bottom of the seventh, but could not erase the Alma lead, as the Scots won 2-1.

So. OF Alex Kravat (Bay City, Mich./Bay City Western) scored on a throwing error in the fourth for Alma, and Jr. Matt Cresswell (St. Louis, Mich./St. Louis) notched the other Scots run in the seventh on a single by Sr. OF Ian Rhynard (Shepherd, Mich./Shepherd). Sr. P Donny Lee (Mt. Pleasant, Mich./GRCC) pitched a complete game for the win and gave up just five hits while recording four strikeouts.

A single by Cresswell scored Sr. C Matt Stephens (Maple Rapids, Mich./Fulton) for the run that proved to be the winner. So. P Kevin Thompson (Petoskey, Mich./Petoskey) went seven innings on the mound and gave up two earned runs and earned the win, while So.
