No. 14 Eagles Finish Regular Season With Home Loss To Dragons

Closing the 2024 regular season on Senior Day on Saturday (May 4) at Tomassi Stadium and Donges Field at the Archer Ballpark Complex, the No. 14-ranked Ashland University baseball team lost 14-6 to Tiffin.
 
The Eagles head into the 2024 Great Midwest Athletic Conference Tournament at 38-11 overall and 24-8 in the league, having won the regular-season championship. The Dragons also have qualified for the conference postseason at 23-24, 17-15.
 
Tiffin exploded in the top of the first inning for five runs, but in the bottom of the first, junior third baseman Jeremiah Cangelosi roped an RBI double down the left-field line. The Dragons came back with three in the top of the second for an 8-1 lead, and the score remained there until the bottom of the fifth, when sophomore right fielder Chris Franks delivered a two-out RBI single.
 
With a run in the top of the sixth, Tiffin re-took a seven-run lead at 9-2, but junior center fielder Cam Miller drove in a run with single in the bottom of the frame to get that tally back. Later in the sixth, junior left fielder Max Caron cut the deficit in half with a bases-clearing double to left center.
 
Tiffin scored five runs in the top of the eighth for the final margin of victory.
