Baseball Takes Road Contest at Oglethorpe Tuesday 11-5

NEED TO KNOW:
Score: Piedmont 11, Oglethorpe 5
Records: Piedmont, 22-10 (8-4 CCS); Oglethorpe, 17-15

ATLANTA, Ga. - In a mid-week step outside of conference play, the Piedmont University baseball team claimed an 11-5 win at Oglethorpe Tuesday. A five-run fourth inning helped propel the Lions to victory behind a 5.2 inning outing by Adam Metivier. 

Piedmont was off to a hot start offensively plating two runs in the first inning. Three straight two-out singles helped the Lions drive across two runs, but the Stormy Petrels' bats were hot as well. 

Oglethorpe managed a pair in the first to tie the contest off four hits, but Metivier settled in not allowing another run over his 5.2 innings pitched. 

A walk with the bases loaded scored the first run of the fourth for Piedmont, forcing the Stormy Petrels to the bullpen. Ben Connelly singled for a 2-RBI hit to make it 5-2 and Connelly and Cody Funk pulled off a double steal to put two more in scoring position. 

Both would later come in to score in the inning making it 7-2 Lions. Metivier surrendered two hits and a walk in the fourth, but left the bases loaded. 

Lucas Tritt took over for Metivier in the sixth and earned a strikeout to end the inning but allowed one run in the seventh. That came after Piedmont put up a three-spot in the top of the inning to claim a 10-2 lead after just one hit and two errors. 

The Stormy Petrels managed to add another pair in the bottom of the eighth to cut the deficit to 10-5 while Piedmont tacked on one in the top of the ninth. 

Andrew Misirly closed out the contest as Piedmont used a total of five pitchers in the contest. 

Up next, the Lions will travel to Huntingdon for a three game series with the Hawks beginning on Thursday. 

TURNING POINT:
- Piedmont used a five-run fourth inning to take control of the contest scoring five runs off three hits. 

STANDOUT PERFORMANCES: 
- Adam Metivier pitched 5.2 innings in the game allowing just two runs on 10 hits and earned a pair of strikeouts.
