Need to Know
Score: Piedmont 8, Covenant 13
Records: Lions 18-16 (5-12 USA South), Scots 20-14 (9-7 USA South)
Location: Lookout Mountain, Georgia - Covenant College

Lookout Mountain, GA - In game two of a three-game series in USA South play, the Piedmont College baseball team could not recover from a middle inning outburst by Covenant College falling 13-8 to the Scots on the road late Friday afternoon.

Piedmont watched EVAN GRESHAM drill a two-run homer in the 4th to cut a 4-0 lead by Covenant in half, but the Scots responded with nine in the home half to extend the lead too far for PC to cut into.  

Covenant would not score again in the contest, but the damage has already been done as the home team led 13-2 coming out of the 4th.  Piedmont picked up four in the 6th and two more in the 8th, but still trailed by five headed into the final inning.

The Lions will face the Scots once more in this USA South regular season finale, that coming as a 1:00 pm first pitch on Saturday to wrap up the series.
