Baseball Sweeps Covenant with 4-3 Win Saturday

NEED TO KNOW:
Score: Piedmont 4, Covenant 3
Records: Piedmont, 19-9 (6-3 CCS); Covenant, 12-16 (2-10 CCS)

LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, Ga. - The Piedmont University baseball team earned a sweep in conference play with a 4-3 win over Covenant Saturday. Bodie Eilertson got the win on the mound tossing six innings allowing just two runs. 

Covenant was first to strike with a run in the first inning. Eilertson surrendered just one hit but a wild pitch put the runner in scoring position with no outs and the Scots were able to drive one across. 

Piedmont was able to answer quickly getting a run in the second after Carter Few reached on an error to start the inning. After two total errors in the frame, a Kyle Carlson single drove in Few to tie the game. 

Covenant used three straight singles to load the bases in the bottom of the third, and despite turning a double play, the Lions conceded a run as the Scots reclaimed the lead 2-1.

The Lions were undeterred and two free bases to start the fifth were a solid start to a rally for Piedmont. Ben Connelly had an RBI single to tie the game and Few posted an RBI ground out to jump in front 3-2.

Few added another run for Piedmont in the seventh which allowed Eilertson to exit with a 4-2 lead as Andrew Misirly pitched the seventh before Braden Simms came in to start the eighth. 

An error by Simms ended up costing a run, but he was able to work two innings allowing one unearned run and struck out two on his way to his seventh save of the season. 

Up next, Piedmont hosts LaGrange for a weekend CCS series beginning Friday. 

TURNING POINT:
- The Lions scored a pair of runs in the fifth inning to claim the lead and added another insurance run in the seventh. 

STANDOUT PERFORMANCES:
- Carter Few led the pack as he was 3-for-5 with a pair of RBI Saturday. 
- Braden Simms earned his seventh save of the season pitching the final two innings.
