In a game that featured only nine combined hits, the Piedmont College baseball team dropped a two-run decision to visiting non-conference opponent Rhodes College by the score of 4-2 tonight at Loudermilk Field. The Lions could only muster five hits and a pair of runs in the defeat.

After the Lynx put a single run up in the top of the second and fifth inning the Lions answered in the bottom of the fifth on an RBI single from Zac Stein plating Andy House from second. The Lions tied the game in the bottom of the sixth inning as Matt Devito scored from third after Evan Nissley was in a rundown between first and second.

The score remained tied until the top of the eight when Rhodes scored the two eventual game-winning runs on a single and a PC error. House led the Lions offense going 2-3 with a walk and a run scored. Stan Brosko, Matt Devito, and Zac Stein added a hit apiece.

The loss drops PC to 8-11 overall. The Lions will return to action again tomorrow, March 17th as they host visting Methodist University at Loudermilk Field beginning at 7:00.
