Cassel throws one-hitter in loss to Taylor

UPLAND, Ind. – Spring Arbor University's Sean Cassel turned in a stellar pitching performance in game two of Friday's doubleheader. The southpaw tossed a complete game one-hitter, but the Cougars were unable to get anything going offensively in a 1-0 loss to No. 18 ranked Taylor University.
 
The Trojans also came away with a win in game one of the twinbill, defeating SAU 7-2.

  • The Trojans added two runs in the third, two in the fourth and another in the fifth to take a 6-0 advantage.
