NEWPORT NEWS, VA- The Bloomsburg University baseball team fell to Kutztown 12-2 at the Apprentice School Builder Invitational on Saturday night.

Bloomsburg (2-2) jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the top of the first when Preston Hitchcock (Laceyville/ Wyalusing Valley) scored on a pass ball. After holding the Golden Bears to a scoreless first inning, Kutztown responded with a run in the bottom of the second and six in the third inning.
