Indians fall to Green Wave

GREENVILLE, Ohio — A rough second inning was too much to overcome on Thursday as the Fort Recovery junior varsity baseball team lost to the Greenville Green Wave, 16-6 in six innings.

The Indians (0-2), who committed five errors on the night, jumped out to a 5-3 lead after the first inning, but a five-run second gave the Green Wave a lead it never relinquished.

A two-run sixth completed the run-rule win for the Green Wave.

Derek Lochtefeld was 2-for-4 with two doubles and a pair of RBIs for the Indians, who also got two single each from Peyton Brunswick and Sam Jones. Kendrick Wendel chipped in a double.
