[Baseball] Trojans Fall to the Raiders

Cisco Factor hit a home run in the first inning, and two RBI's on three hits and a single in the fifth but it just wasn't enough. An SSC fielding error in the fifth sparked the Raiders to four runs. Head Coach Jeff Shafer said, "We left too many runners on base and made three costly errors that led to all six of their runs. We didn't play well enough to win, plain and simple." The Trojans will play Rose State again today at 6 pm in Midwest City as part of the four game series. SSC's overall record is 37-12.
