Box Score

Demorest, GA -- The Piedmont College baseball team fell for the second time in the Great South Athletic Conference tournament this afternoon to the #4 seed Hawks of Huntingdon College by a 6-3 score.  The Lions took an early one run lead but could not hold on as Huntingdon grabbed the 6-3 decision.

Piedmont struck first with a Kevin McConnell sacrifice fly in the top of the first to take a 1-0 advantage only to see Huntingdon score three runs of its own in the bottom of the second.  The Hawks would add on three more scores in the bottom of the fourth to push their lead to five.

The Lions chipped away at the Scots' advantage as Scott Haddock knocked a seventh inning RBI single to score teammate Zac Stein.  Haddock would later score to pull the Lions within three, but Huntingdon then held PC scoreless down the stretch for the 6-3 win. 

On the mound, DUSTY BLACK takes the loss for Piedmont going six innings allowing as many runs on twelve hits.  The junior also struck out two as he moved to 5-4 on the season. 

The loss eliminates Piedmont from the GSAC tournament and drops the Lions to 20-18 overall.  PC will return to the diamond on Friday, April 30th in doubleheader action against Methodist University and York College of Pennslyvania.
