Lions Drop 8-3 Contest at Huntingdon Saturday to Even Series

NEED TO KNOW:
Score: Piedmont 3, Huntingdon 8
Records: Piedmont, 13-9 (1-1 USA South); Huntingdon, 9-10 (1-1 USA South)

MONTGOMERY, Ala. - In game two of the conference opening series, the Piedmont College baseball team dropped an 8-3 decision. The Hawks saw a complete game from starter Wallace Henry while the Lions utilized a pair of pitchers. 

The Lions started KYLE YORK on the mound Saturday. In his first start, York tossed 2.1 before giving way to NATHAN BOYCE after York allowed six runs, four earned.

The Hawks were able to tack on three runs in the first off two hits and one error. The bottom of the second saw York settle in, but in the third, the Hawks had four straight hits to start the inning and forced a change as Boyce entered to close out the inning. 

Boyce would then close out the game going the rest of the way. Piedmont scored in the third inning as JACK BARTLEWSKI singled to drive in KYLE DEJESUS making it 3-1 at that mark. 

Huntingdon led 6-1 after the third inning, but Boyce limited the damage with just a single run in each the fourth and fifth before shutting down the Hawks. Piedmont added runs in the fifth and ninth as the late rally saw Bartlewski secure his third RBI of the game driving in SCOTT LYON. 

Up next, the series will continue with the rubber match on Saturday. 

TURNING POINT:
--Huntingdon started scoring early adding three runs in the first and again in the third to take control and chase starter KYLE YORK. 

STANDOUT PERFORMANCES:
