Baseball Drops Home Finale Sunday to Huntingdon 4-3

NEED TO KNOW:
Score: Huntingdon 4, Piedmont 3
Records: Piedmont, 24-13 (11-4 CCS); Huntingdon, 17-16 (7-8 CCS)

DEMOREST, Ga. - The Piedmont University baseball team concluded the regular season home schedule on Sunday in a tough 4-3 loss to Huntingdon. The Lions fell behind 4-0 and clawed back but were unable to complete the rally. 

The Hawks had an explosive start with a first pitch home run off Adam Metivier as Huntingdon tacked on three runs in the opening frame. The Hawks scored three runs on four hits in the top of the first before Metivier settled in. 

Metivier allowed no hits again until the fourth inning and went five innings total allowing four runs and seven hits. The fourth run came in the fifth inning after back-to-back singles to start the frame allowed a sac fly later in the inning. 

Piedmont was off to a slow start offensively with just three hits through the first five innings. 

In the sixth inning, the Lions were able to find an offensive spark scoring two runs on four hits to cut the deficit to 4-2. Isaak Mullanack scored on a Kyle Carlson double and Carlson was driven in on a Mac Barton single. 

The Lions added another run in the seventh with two outs, but left the bases loaded after Huntingdon went to the bullpen. Piedmont went down in order in the final two frames and was unable to complete the comeback.

Up next, Piedmont will head to Maryville for the final series of the regular season beginning Thursday at 6 p.m.

TURNING POINT:
--The Hawks were able to take control and set the tone of the contest early with a three-spot in the first inning. 

STANDOUT PERFORMANCES:
--Isaak Mullanack was 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored as Mullanack and Spencer Muffuletto were the two Lions with multi-hit games. 

OF NOTE:
--Piedmont honored 11 seniors prior to the contest.
