PC Baseball Team Opens LaGrange Series With Dramatic Win

With Great South Athletic Conference regular-season championship implications, the Piedmont College baseball team defeated host LaGrange College by the score of 10-6. The game began last night, but due to rain was halted and completed this afternoon. The Lions entered today trailing 6-4 in the top of the ninth but rallied to score six unanswered runs and win game one.

In the ninth Stan Brosko led off the inning with a single to rightfield. Matt Devito reached on an error and Cole Spedale notched an infield single to load the bases. After a strikeout the Lions got a run on a fielders choice RBI from Travis Hunt. After Walker Searcy was hit by a pitch Evan Nissley knotted the game at six runs apiece with an RBI walk.

With two outs in a tie game and the bases loaded clean-up hitter Andy House hit a 2-1 fastball over the fence for a grand-slam homerun. Josh Berens then threw a scoreless ninth to seal the victory for PC.

The victory moves PC to 24-14 overall and 9-1 in the Great South Athletic Conference. These two teams will meet again this afternoon beginning at 2:00.
