Ingle takes loss despite solid effort

Chandler Ingle had a strong day on the mound Wednesday.

He just didn’t get enough run support.

Ingle, a 2014 South Adams High School graduate, suffered his third consecutive defeat for the Goshen College baseball team in a 3-0 loss to Mount Vernon Nazarene.

Ingle tossed six innings, allowing three earned runs on seven hits. All three runs came in the first inning. The right-hander also walked one and struck out a pair.

Following a shaky start, Ingle (2-3) retired 15 of the final 17 batters he faced.

The Maple Leafs (10-16, 2-6 Crossroads League) only managed to collect three hits in the game, all of which were singles.

Ingle has made eight appearances this season for Goshen, having thrown 30 innings. He’s allowed 16 runs — all but three earned — with 19 strikeouts and 16 walks. He sports a 3.90 ERA, which is tops on the team, and opposing hitters are batting .266 against him.
