The Mules saw their season come to an end with a 5-3 setback to top-ranked Mount Olive in the first round of semi-final action. The Mules, who would have had to win Thursday to force a true semi-final game Friday, end their 2008 season with a 47-17 record and a fourth place finish in the championships.

The Mules were led by Will Feil, who had three of the eight hits in the game, while Mike Hallam hit a solo homerun for one of the three runs. UCM struggled to get the big hit in the contest and stranded eight runners, while it was two unearned runs in the seventh inning by Mount Olive that proved to be the difference in the game. Brian McBryde had one hit and finished his career tied for sixth on the all-time NCAA-II hit list with 312. Mules Recap »
