Baseball Team Falls At Emory 6-1

The Piedmont College baseball team could only scratch out four hits this afternoon in Atlanta, GA at non-conference host Emory University and fell by the score of 6-1. In a game that featured zero errors by both teams the Eagles pounded out 13 hits and cruised to the five-run decision.

The Lions got out to an early lead in the top of the first as Evan Nissley drove in Travis Hunt for the teams only run. PC held on to the lead until the bottom of the fifth when Emory notched the eventual game-winning runs on a two-out RBI double.

The Eagles added three insurance runs in the seventh and one run in the eighth to cruise to the victory. Hunt, Nissley, Andy House and Cole Spedale recorded the only hits offensively for the Lions.

The loss drops Piedmont to 9-14 overall. These two teams will meet again tomorrow, March 24th in Demorest, GA as the Lions will play host at Loudermilk Field with game time set for 3:00.
