Submitted by admin on Mon, 06/27/2011 - 11:00pm

SOLON– Solon’s varsity baseball team picked up its first two losses of the season last Friday hosting No. 9 Davenport Assumption.
The Spartan bats hit a quiet spell, and that was enough to drop both ends of a home doubleheader, 1-4 and 4-6.
Marshall Koehn went 2-4 in the first game, during which Solon was limited to six hits. Nick Day contributed the lone RBI.  Ryan Butler pitched well, striking out seven batters over six innings, but picked up his first loss of the season taking his record to 4-1.
