Findlay, Ohio - The University of Findlay baseball team was back in action on Tuesday, Apr. 8 for a midweek match-up with regional foe Wayne State University.  Errors and Walks would haunt the Oilers, as they would drop the game by a score of 21-6.  With the loss, the Oilers now sit at 15-16.  Meanwhile, the Warriors see their record rise to 17-15.

In the bottom of the ninth, the Oilers would finally erase the zero on the scoreboard.  With the help of a two-RBI double from senior Joe Kroeger, Findlay would score six runs in the final frame.
