Mistakes Costly in Baseball Loss at Pitt State

Free passes cost Griffons in streak snapping loss

PITTSBURG, Kan. – Free passes led directly or indirectly to six Pittsburg State (22-18, 14-12) runs in a 7-6 loss for Griffon Baseball (18-16, 15-11) on Friday.
 
Four of the Gorillas' seven runs were earned and the home team's first two runs both walked to get on base. The loss snapped a string of four-straight wins for Missouri Western.
