RENSSELAER, Ind. (Apr. 3, 2016)-- The University of Wisconsin-Parkside baseball squad fell 7-0 in a resumption of yesterday's suspended contest before dropping a heartbreaking 7-6 extra innings affair against Saint Joseph's College on Sunday in a Great Lakes Valley Conference showdown at Gil Hodges Field.
 
In game one, three errors opened the floodgates for the host Pumas (15-13, 4-3 GLVC) who scored all seven of their runs in the bottom of the sixth to emerge with the win.
 
Juan Bowers led the Rangers (4-18, 0-7 GLVC) at the plate, finishing two-for-three while Josh Serio was hit with the loss, pitching 5 2/3 innings and striking out 12 while allowing no earned runs. SJC's Tasker Strobel tallied the win, tossing six innings and fanning six.
 
Extra innings were necessary in game two of the afternoon with the Pumas scoring the final six runs of the game to claim the win despite UW-Parkside outhitting the hosts.
 
Saint Joe's opened the scoring with a single run in the first before a Jake Kolasinski double in the third inning plated Zach Thompson to tie the score. DJ Peltz doubled in Kyohei Makita to give the Rangers their first lead of the contest in the fifth, later scoring on a wild pitch to put Parkside up 3-1.
 
The Green and White doubled its tally in the sixth, plating three runs, including two off a Peltz double to left center field. The Pumas responded with five runs in the sixth inning to tie the contest. Neither team was able to score in the seventh, forcing extra innings. In extras, a bases loaded hit by pitch allowing SJC to bring in the winning run to escape with the win.

Cody Rolshoven was hit with the loss, pitching 1 2/3 innings in relief of Mario Samuel who struck out five in 5 2/3 innings of effort, including tossing a one-hitter through the first five frames.
