BEREA, Ky. - The Piedmont baseball team was able to claim a 5-3 victory over CCS foe Berea Saturday to take a 2-0 lead in the series. The Lions were first on the board and led by as many as five before late inning runs for the Mountaineers. 

Piedmont was on the board first with a run in the top of the first thanks to a walk issued to Trace Cate and an Isaak Mullanack triple to start it off with a bang. 

The Mountaineers stranded two on the bases in the first two innings, but were unable to plate a run. Piedmont went back to work with two runs on two hits in the fourth inning to increase the lead to 3-0. 

The two hits in the fourth came off the bats of freshmen as both Makana Peters and Spencer Muffuletto recorded doubles. 

In the sixth, Piedmont took a 5-0 lead on four hits as Trace Cate plated the two runs with a 2-RBI single. The Mountaineers were able to answer in the home half with two runs, the only two off starter Bodie Eilertson to cut into the lead 5-2. 

Tyler Roon pitched the seventh allowing just one hit while Jackson Randolph took the ball in the eighth. Randolph allowed one run on two hits before Braden Simms closed it out in the ninth earning his seventh save of the season. 

Up next, the Lions continue the series at Berea with the finale on Sunday at 1 p.m.

TURNING POINT:
--Piedmont used crooked numbers in the fourth and sixth innings to take a sizeable lead, enough to secure the victory. 

STANDOUT PERFORMANCES:
--Bodie Eilertson pitched six innings allowing two earned runs to secure his second victory on the mound this season. 

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE:
