The Austin College baseball team committed five errors and was limited to three hits, leading to the 'Roos falling 4-1 at home against Ecclesia College on Friday night. The 'Roos are now 4-30 overall this season with the loss.

The game was scoreless until the top of the third, when a pair of errors opened the door for a run by the Royals to make it a 1-0 game. That remained the score until the sixth, when Ecclesia plated three runs, with one of the three coming home on a throwing error from the outfield to make it a 4-0 game.

Austin College finally got on the board in the bottom of the ninth, with CJ Adame reaching after getting hit by a pitch and coming home on a throwing error that allowed him to score from second to make it 4-1. The 'Roos would get the tying run at the plate in the form of Dylan Day, but he would fly out to deep right to end the game.
