OSHKOSH (April 15, 2013) - UW-Stout proved to have some pop in their bat as they made a mad dash of matching UW-Oshkosh hit-for-hit in the final game of the series, but the Blue Devils still lost both sides of a doubleheader to the Titans, 5-2, 16-13, Monday at Tiedemann Field.

The teams also combined for nine errors, six for Oshkosh, three for Stout, and 26 runners left on base. Stout had seven pitchers in the contest, while Oshkosh sent four to the hill.
