Baseball

by David Jablonski
THE POST

Asked to explain Monday how his team committed seven errors against North Carolina-Asheville and won 8-7, Ohio coach Joe Carbone had a simple defense.

"We were playing in the rain," said Carbone, whose Bobcats (5-1) swept the doubleheader from UNCA. "Up until then, we were fielding at a .980 fielding percentage. I think three of our best (pitcher Ryan Hulse, first baseman Jeff Rook and second baseman Scott Malinowski) had two errors. Errors I don't really get upset about, because I know everybody is trying."
