The Misericordia University baseball team had its 10-game winning streak snapped as the Cougars dropped the series opener at Stevens, 4-3, Friday.

Brock Bollinger had two hits for MU and Jack Regenye had a hit and scored two runs.  Connor Maryniak and Joe Comins both had hits and drove in a run.

Joe Valenti was the tough-luck loser as he allowed just three earned runs over 7.2 innings.

The Ducks took a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first as their first four batters reached base.

MU got a run back in the top of the fourth.  Regenye reached on an infield single and moved up on a wild pitch before coming around on Maryniak's one-out single up the middle.

Stevens got the run back on a two-out double in the bottom of the fifth to take a 4-1 lead.

Garrett McIlhenney led off the top of the sixth with a walk and Regenye reached via hit by pitch.  Bollinger singled through the left side to make it 4-2 and Maryniak reached on an error to load the bases.  Comins drove in a run on a ground out to get the Cougars within 4-3, but the threat ended there.
