The Piedmont College baseball team was unable to find their first victory of the season this evening in Atlanta, GA as host Oglethorpe University handed the Lions a 1-0 shutout victory. Despite notching seven hits and playing error-free the Lions could not overcome a second inning run and lost their fourth straight game to start the season.

Oglethorpe scored the only run of the game in the bottom of the second inning on a one out sacrifice fly which proved to be the game-winner. The Lions used five pitchers and allowed only one earned run while striking out seven Stormy Petrel hitters.

Evan Nissley led the Lions offensive going 2-4 from the plate while Matt Devito went 1-3 with a walk. Justin Vorherr, Trey McCay, Travis Hunt and Cole Spedale also added a hit apiece.

The loss moves Piedmont to 0-4 overall. The Lions will start a 19-game homestand tomorrow, February 17th as they host NC Wesleyan College, currently ranked 7th nationally, beginning at 1:00.
