Methodist Uses Five-Run Sixth Inning To Defeat Piedmont 7-1

Behind a five-run sixth inning the Methodist College baseball team defeated visiting Piedmont College this afternoon by the score of 7-1 in Fayetteville, NC. The Lions allowed solo runs in the first and third inning but it was the five unanswered runs in the sixth that led to the loss.

On a day where hits were hard to come by, MC capitalized on two Piedmont errors and four walks. PC was unable to push a run across until the eight inning when Travis Hunt drove in the lone run.

Billy Secor dropped his second game of the year on the mound, his record now standing at 3-2 overall. Cole Spedale, Blake Albertson, Tim Jones, Walker Searcy and Justin Oates all went 1-3 accounting for all five of the Lions hits.

The loss moves PC to 11-7 overall. These two teams will meet again tomorrow in the series finale with first-pitch scheduled for 2:00.
