Oilers Lose Two Against Ashland
The University of Findlay baseball team was lost both games of a twin bill against Ashland University on Wednesday, May 1st in Ashland, Ohio.
Ashland scored two runs in the first and held off the Oilers for the 2-1 victory.
Joe Sickler homered to put Findlay on the board in the top of the third but that's all the offense would muster.

Despite the loss, Drew Hargrove had a stellar performance on the mound allowing just two unearned runs on five hits while striking out one in five and two thirds innings.
Findlay's offensive woes continued in game two on the way to an 8-1 loss.
Blake Schmenk, Victor Migliore, Reid Rothenbuhler and Louis Valdez each singled in the game.
