BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - The Bowling Green State University baseball team dropped game one of a weekend series at Western Michigan, 3-1. Senior Tyler Johnson was burdened with the loss despite allowing just three runs in the Falcons first complete game of the season.
BGSU struck first with a run in the top of the first. Sophomore Marty Baird drove in Senior Kurt Wells from second base with an opposite field RBI-single. Wells reached second after drawing a walk, then swiping the second bag with his sixth stolen base on the year.
Western Michigan seized the lead in the bottom half of the inning with a pair of runs. Two runs were scored when WMU's Joe McDonald connected on a two-RBI single into left-center field.
Bowling Green's best opportunity to regain the lead came in sixth inning with a one-out, bases loaded situation. Unfortunately, the next to Falcon batters were struck out to end the scoring threat. BGSU stranded eight runners in total for the game.
Junior Nick Cantrell gets the nod at starting pitcher for the Brown and Orange Saturday afternoon. The Broncos game two starter will be Billy Morrison. First pitch is scheduled for 1 PM. Live stats will be available via GameTracker right here at bgsufalcons.com for Saturday's contest.
