LEBANON, Tenn.--Cumberland drops the finale 12-4 at home against Indiana Wesleyan. 

Cumberland (2-3-1) struggled swinging the bats today, only collecting four hits in the game and posted three errors while allowing the Wildcats to steal seven bases. 

After a scoreless first, Cumberland had a few miscues that gave Indiana Wesleyan extra at-bats allowing the Wildcats to push across three runs. The first run came across on an RBI-single from Quinn Willard and the two bases loaded walks pushed across the next two. 

The Phoenix did answer back in the bottom half of the second as Tyner Hughes led off with a triple in the gap. He came in to score on a wild pitch and then Xavier Torres hit a sac fly to right and Tim Holyk scored on a throwing error from Caleb Englesman to tie the game. 

The Wildcats pushed two more across in the fourth inning as Colby Jenkins blasted a two-run homer to left. Cumberland again got a run back in the bottom half as Torres hit another sac fly to right field to score Dee Triplett for a 5-4 IWU lead. 

In the fifth, Indiana Wesleyan pushed across two more runs as the MJ Stavola legged out an infield single. He stole second and then went to third on a passed ball to come in on a Bryce Grinder single. Grinder swiped second and then was moved to third on a groundout before a sac fly scored him and pushed it out to a 7-4 lead. 

Lucas Goodin hit an RBI-single up the middle in the sixth and scored a Nick Wiley sacrifice fly to center to push it out to 9-4.

After a scoreless seventh and eight, the Wildcats were able to push across two more for the 12-4 final score. 

Reece Milam picks up the loss, his first of the season, after throwing five innings while giving up six hits. He allowed seven runs, but only four were earned on four walks and four strikeouts. 

The Phoenix will be back in action this upcoming Thursday at home against No. 18 IU-Southeast. First pitch is scheduled for 1:00 p.m.
