DEMOREST, Ga. - The Piedmont University baseball team split a doubleheader taking game one 15-2 in seven innings against Berea before the Mountaineers had revenge with a 13-10 victory. 

Game one: Piedmont 15, Berea 2 F/7

It was all Lions in game one as it was a run rule victory in seven innings. While the offense was cruising, BODIE EILERTSON kept the Mountaineers at bay allowing just five hits and two runs. 
 
Piedmont claimed an early lead in the first before the Mountaineers answered to tie it in the second. The Lions were able to score a pair of runs in both the third and fourth innings to take a 5-1 lead, and in the sixth, the flood gates opened. 

The Lions were able to score 10 runs on seven hits and four walks to make it a done deal and seal Berea's fate. 
 
Game two: Piedmont 10, Berea 13

Game two started off much the same as Piedmont had back-to-back two run innings to take a 4-0 lead after two. Starter Zeke Schwartz got rattled early after Jayden Junta blasted his second homer of the day. 

Junta's bomb was a three-run shot to make it 4-3 in the third, but MAC BARTON led off the bottom of the inning with a solo shot of his own to push the lead to 5-3 Lions. 

In the fourth inning however, the Mountaineers scored four runs and claimed an 8-5 lead and never trailed again. Piedmont pulled within one but Berea was able to keep the Lions at bay. 

The Lions will host Berea for the series finale Sunday at 1 p.m.
