Lions Conclude Home Schedule with Senior Day Against Huntingdon

NEED TO KNOW:
Score: Piedmont 8, Huntingdon 17
Records: Piedmont, 15-19-1; Huntingdon 23-11

DEMOREST, Ga. - The Piedmont University baseball team honored eight seniors prior to the start of the series finale against Huntingdon. It marked the final home game for seven seniors and the final baseball broadcast for the Voice of the Lions, Brett Loftis. 

After taking an early lead, the Lions were unable to keep pace with the Huntingdon Hawks falling 17-8 as the Hawks swept the series. 

Huntingdon led 2-0 heading to the bottom of the first, but CARTER BALLSTADT answered with his 11th home run of the season, cutting the deficit in half.  
 
It was a pitcher's duel until the fifth inning when Piedmont tacked on three runs thanks to two hits and three walks. 

In the top of the sixth, the wheels fell off as Huntingdon scored 10 runs on 11 hits combined with two errors. Ten of the 11 hits were singles in the inning. 

The Lions were able to hang tough and score four in the bottom of the sixth, but the Hawks were comfortably out in front and added runs in the seventh and eighth innings as well.

In one of the most impactful moments of the day, Brett Loftis signed off for the final time at Loudermilk Field. Catch his farewell here. 



Up next, the Lions will travel to Birmingham-Southern for a contest Tuesday at 7 p.m.

--The Hawks were unstoppable in the top of the sixth scoring 10 runs to claim the lead and take control of the contest.
