Piedmont Drops A Pair Of Games To Nationally-Ranked Ferrum

After halting game one and concluding it this afternoon, the Piedmont College baseball team fell to non-conference host Ferrum College 9-1 and 3-2. The Lions entered the conclusion of game one in the top of the fifth down 2-0 but could not stop the Ferrum offense who pushed across another seven runs.

In the second game PC rallied in the ninth but fell one run short of tying the game. Ian McClary pitched a complete game and recorded the tough luck loss allowing only three runs and scattering 10 hits.

For the day Cole Spedale and Walker Searcy led the Lions offense with a pair of hits apiece. PC was able to steal three bases and committed only one error but could not find a way to edge their opponents.

The losses drop PC to 13-10 overall. These two teams will square-off again tomorrow in the conclusion of the three-game set. First-pitch is slated for 2:00.
