The Misericordia University baseball team dropped a tough 3-2 decision at Stevens, Wednesday night.

Tyler Holzapfel and Santo Guinta drove in runs for the Cougars while Kenny Jarema and Parker Abate both had a hit and scored a run.

Jake Kurtz was the tough-luck loser as he allowed just four hits and two earned runs over seven innings.

After Stevens broke a scoreless tie with two runs in the bottom of the fifth, MU answered with a pair of runs in the top of the sixth.

Jarema singled through the right side with one out and moved to second on Abate's bunt single.  Both runners advanced on a wild pitch and Holzapfel grounded an RBI-single
through the right side.  Guinta's squeeze bunt scored Abate with the tying run.

The Ducks took advantage of a two-out error to score the eventual winning run in the bottom of the sixth.

The Cougars will host Manhattanville in the first game of a three-game series, Friday at 3:30.
