VERONA, Wis. – Rockford College pitchers limited the Edgewood College baseball team to one run in a rain-shortened doubleheader which snapped the Eagles' five-game conference winning streak. The Regents claimed a 4-0 shutout victory in game one, and then won the second game 3-1 in a game cut short by rain after six innings.

Edgewood College (13-19, 10-8 NAC) put runners on first and third with less than two outs in both of the first two innings, but were unable to score a run against Regent pitcher Jake Nicholson. Edgewood College also got back-to-back one-out singles from Jake Zadra and Ryan O'Dell in the ninth inning, but Nicholson picked off O'Dell and eventually struck out Jake Thome to end the game. Nicholson pitched a complete game, striking out seven batters.

Rockford College (20-14, 15-3 NAC) got most of the offense they needed from leadoff hitter Jimmy Dercks. Dercks drove home a run in the fourth with an RBI single and then completed the game's scoring with a three-run home run in the sixth inning.

The Eagles were led by Alex Jaskulski and O'Dell who both went 2-for-4 with a double. Zadra also went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles. Starting pitcher Tony Ales lasted into the seventh inning, surrendering four runs on seven hits while striking out three Regents. Brad Clark held Rockford without a hit over the final two and two-thirds innings.

Rockford jumped ahead 1-0 in the second game, but the Eagles responded in the fourth inning. With two outs, Mike Selvaggi, Zadra and O'Dell hit consecutive singles to tie the game at one apiece. Rockford College took the lead with single runs in the fifth and sixth inning as the rain began to fall. In the seventh inning, the umpires stopped the game and called for a delay. A little more than an hour later, with no clear weather in the immediate future, the game was declared official.

Three Eagles had two hits apiece in Selvaggi, O'Dell and Brandon Bartels, with Selvaggi adding a double and extending his hitting streak to 10 consecutive games. Ryan Walker saw his streak of 24 straight games reaching base, the third longest streak in school history, come to an end, although Zadra extended his streak of reaching base safely to 20 games. Taylor Hillmann suffered the loss, falling to 2-2 on the season.

Edgewood College sits in fifth place and is still looking to clinch a spot in the six-team Northern Athletics Conference Tournament. The Eagles will play at Concordia University Chicago in a rescheduled doubleheader on Tuesday.
