LAGRANGE, Ga.  - In the series opener against LaGrange, the Piedmont College baseball team rolled to an 11-6 win over the Panthers on the road. The Lions were in control through most of the contest and used an offensive outburst in the seventh inning to claim the lead for good. 

Piedmont took the lead 3-0 in the first inning with three runs on three hits and one error, but the Panthers answered with a run in the bottom of the second and tied the contest in the fourth inning with two runs on three hits. 

The Lions again took the lead in the top of the fifth as ANDREW BURDEN stole second and BRADY BALLSTADT stole home followed by a throwing error that later scored Burden. Once again, LaGrange tried to answer but managed just one run on three hits in the sixth inning.
