MOUNT VERNON, Iowa – A late-game rally by the Rams resulted in an 8-4 loss for the Simpson College baseball team who opened a three-game non-conference series with Cornell on Friday evening.
The Storm and Rams will play the final two games of the series on Saturday in Indianola. The twinbill is set for 2 p.m. at McBride Field.
