Series Recap - Truman (Games 3 & 4)

In Game 3, Northwest's offenses exploded in a big way to win the game 17-7 to see the Bearcats' 2012 season record advance to 8-20, 7-12 MIAA.  Jace Anderson picked-up the first victory as a Bearcat and in 2012 with today's performance and advanced the 2012 record to 1-4.  Jace worked 4.2 innings, allowed 11 hits, 7 runs (6 earned), 4 walks, 4 strike-outs,  and 2 wild pitches.  While definitely not what Jace expected of himself in the performance, its good to get the 500-pound gorilla off of his back for that first victory of the year.
