SPRINGFIELD, Ohio—After an impressive offensive output the night before, Wittenberg's bats were silenced by the Polar Bears of Ohio Northern University. Wittenberg was only able to muster up four hits in the 10-0 loss, while the Polar Bears dropped 13 hits on the Tigers in the nine-inning affair. It took a combination of eight different Tiger pitchers to stifle ONU's offensive attack, while the Tigers could not figure out the visitor's starter for six plus innings. Wittenberg moves to 7-19 on the season with the loss.
