Corban University Baseball faced a disappointing start to their four-game series against Bushnell University, as quality pitching from Jack Kovanen and Brady Sprague wasn鈥檛 enough to secure a win. Despite leading through most of the first game, the Warriors succumbed to a late surge, losing 7-1. In game two, they fell behind early again, ultimately losing 5-3. The team struggled offensively, managing only four runs across both games, while their bullpen allowed a significant number of late-game runs. Head coach Ryan Harris expressed confidence in their ability to bounce back despite the tough losses.
