Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 One big inning and the lack of one key hit sent the Fighting Scots home with a double header loss to Iowa Wesleyan Saturday.
 
The Scots surrendered a three-run inning in the opener to fall 4-1 to the Tigers and then left the bases loaded to end the nightcap with a 3-2 loss.
 
Brik Wedekind pitched six strong innings in Game 1, scattering six hits. The Tigers touched Wedekind for three of the six hits in the fourth and milked a pair of walks to move to a 4-0 lead. Monmouth threatened in the seventh when Jordan Gaither led off with a double and later scored. After Brandon Harroun and Raahsaan Fox reached behind Gaither with no one out, the Scots were retired in order.
 
A similar fate was suffered in Game 2 by Nick Hull who tossed four-hit ball over six innings. IWC scored two unearned runs in the first and added another unearned tally in the third and held a 3-0 lead into the fifth. Fox led off the inning, reaching on a hit-by-pitch. He then moved to third on an error on Harroun’s batted ball. A two-run double by Ryan Crandall plated Fox and Harroun to make it 3-2 with no one out, but the Scots’ rally ended four batters later with two on.
 
Monmouth mounted another threat in the seventh, loading the bases with one out before a strikeout and a groundout ended the game.
