Despite a late attempt at a comeback attempt, the Case Western Reserve University baseball team dropped the series finale of its season-opening weekend at nationally 15th/16th-ranked Shenandoah University, 7-4 in Winchester, Virginia on Sunday afternoon.
The Spartans fell to 0-3 on the year with the loss, while Shenandoah raised its record to 3-0.
Case Western Reserve fell into an early hole on Sunday, after Shenandoah struck for four runs in the first inning, and another two in the second, to take a 6-0 lead. The Spartans' pitchers settled in from there, behind three solid innings of work from junior Preston Williams, who allowed just one run on one hit and a pair of walks, while striking out three during his three innings of work.
