The baseball team came out on the short end of another close one, losing 2 to 1 to the Warriors of Granite City yesterday at their place. The Senator pitching was solid overall, as Caiden Bietsch went 5 innings allowing only 2 runs on 4 hits, and A.J. Ozier closed the door getting out of a tough one out jam in the 6th with runners on 2nd and 3rd giving the Senators a chance. Lucas Richardson paced the offense with a double followed by a single and two stolen bases by Jeffrey Sturm. Liam Watts drove in the lone Solon run in the first when Brody Scheffler scored after singling to get things started. Next up is a 4:30 CS8 contest today against Washington Street rival SHG at their place.
