INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- The Marian College baseball team traveled to Fort Wayne, Ind., to take on the 38th-ranked Indiana Tech Warriors in Fort Wayne, Ind., on Thursday evening. The Knights battled with the Warriors, but came out on the short end suffering their third straight defeat, 2-0. The loss drops Marian's record to 7-14-1 on the season.

"I thought we played really well today," said head coach Kurt Guldner. "We battled with a good team and hit the ball hard. However, they made some good plays and we showed some spirit late, but just could not get a run home."

Senior right fielder Derek Malikian (Charlottesville, Va./New River CC) went 2-for-4 on the day while seniors Joel Strode (Canton, Ill./Canton) and Jason Moon (Anderson, Ind./Anderson) and freshman Mike Keltz (Avon, Ind./Avon) each added a hit for the Knights. Keltz pitched his first career complete game, a four-hitter with two strikeouts.

The Knights return to the friendly confines of Marian Baseball Field on Saturday when they play host to the Golden Eagles of Spalding University in a doubleheader. First pitch is slated for 1 p.m.
