For the second straight day the Piedmont College baseball team defeated visiting Great South Athletic Conference member LaGrange College this afternoon at Loudermilk Field by the score of 7-3. The Lions were able to score seven runs on only seven hits en route to the victory.

After LC got on the board with a single run in the top of the first Piedmont answered with three runs in the home half, two of which came off an Evan Nissley bases loaded double good for two RBI's. The Lions put another three spot on the board in the second inning and held the lead for the remainder of the game.

The Panthers notched single runs in the fifth and sixth but Nissley came through again in the bottom of the sixth with a two-out RBI single plating Cole Spedale for an insurance run. Tom Dimitroff nailed the game down throwing the eighth and ninth facing the minimum with two strikeouts.

Nissley led PC offensively going 2-4 with three RBI's while four Lions added single hit performances. Andy Graf picked up the victory going six innings allowing only two earned runs while striking out four hitters and scattering nine hits.

The victory moves Piedmont to 19-20 overall and 5-3 in the Great South Athletic Conference. The Lions will complete the three game series with a chance to win the GSAC regular-season tomorrow, April 22nd as they face the Panthers beginning at 2:00.
