DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - The Milwaukee baseball team was undone by fielding miscues and a big eighth-inning in falling to Bethune-Cookman Friday night by a final score of 17-4 at Jackie Robinson Park.
 
The Panthers (1-4) started well, jumping ahead of the Wildcats (2-4) on a home run by Ben Chally in the first inning. Unfortunately, it was also the only lead they would hold all night.
 
After making just four errors over its first four games, the Milwaukee defense committed an uncharacteristic six in helping B-CU claim the victory.
 
The Wildcats tied the game in the second inning on an unearned tally in building a 4-1 lead. Trevor Schwecke knocked in a run with an RBI-double in the fifth inning to get UWM within a pair at 4-2, but that is as close as it would get.
 
After giving up the first-inning run, Bethune Cookman starter Tyler Norris (1-1) really settled in. He allowed just three hits in his 6.0 innings of work, walking three and striking out six.
 
The Panthers totaled only four hits on the night, with Oakland Scanlon (1-2, BB) recording one and Zach Nogalski the other – his coming on a two-run shot in the top of the ninth inning.
 
Mike Ferri was 0-for-1, but was on base three times with walks.
 
B-CU was led by Adonis Lao (3-for-5, 3 RBI) and Giovamy Lorenzo (2 hits/3 RBI).
 
Austin Schulfer (0-1) allowed six runs, just three earned, in 4.2 innings, recording three strikeouts.
 
Game two of the series is set for 12 p.m. CST Saturday.
