BOLIVAR, Mo. – Seeing their first action in a few weeks due to poor weather conditions, the Truman Baseball team was swept in a doubleheader on Thursday afternoon by the University of Central Missouri.

Truman cut the lead in half in the third when Zak Larkin singled in Will Nader from second.

Central added four more in the bottom of the inning and tacked on nine in the fifth and seven in the sixth. Truman's final run came on an RBI single by T.J. Wood in the top of the seventh.
