ANGOLA, Ind.--Senior Jordan Frayer tossed a complete-game three-hitter and the Adrian College offense got off to a quick start to cruise to a 7-1 victory Saturday at Trine University in a Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association baseball game. The second game of this afternoon's doubleheader was postponed until Tuesday (4:30 p.m.) due to weather.
