MASON, OH - The Musketeers fought from behind for the majority of the game to keep it close, but in the crucial moments the calls just didn't go their way tonight. Western Carolina took Game One from Prasco Park 7-5, with Games Two and Three on deck at Hayden Field this weekend.
Western Carolina came into Southwest Ohio hot, notching two solo home runs in the first inning. Xavier got one back in the second as Garrett Schultz reached on an infield single and forced an errant Catamount throw to score Tyler DeMartino.
