MILLIGAN COLLEGE, Tenn. -- The Rams baseball team was held scoreless for the first time this season, resulting in a 10-0 loss to Appalachian Athletic Conference opponent Milligan College on Tuesday afternoon at Anglin Field.
The Rams (7-6, 1-3 AAC) were held to just five hits on the afternoon while the hosting Buffaloes (5-3, 1-3 AAC) went for a season-best 12 hits and claimed the victory in seven innings.
Milligan capitalized early against Bluefield starter
Kaleb Houchins (0-2), using three hits and a walk to score three runs in the first frame.
Bluefield was retired in order through the first two innings, with Buffs starting pitcher Codie Campbell setting the tone for his squad.
Milligan added a single run in the second before tacking on runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings en route to the 10-0 win.
The Rams only threatened to score in two innings, stranding a pair in the third and leaving the bags full in the fifth.
