OTTUMWA, IOWA - The offense continued to be MIA for the Ridgewater baseball team, which suffered a 3-0 loss to Indian Hills Saturday.
It was the third time in two days the Falcons shut out the Warriors.
Ridgewater was also done in by sluggish defense, as three errors resulted in two unearned runs.
Those struggles negated a strong pitching performance by Braedon Ryback, who scattered four hits and allowed one earned run in six innings. He finished with one walk and four strikeouts for Ridgewater.
Next up for the Warriors is a pair of doubleheaders against Iowa Western in Council Bluffs, Iowa, on Saturday (noon) and Sunday (1 p.m.).
