BSC TAKES SERIES FINALE AGAINST RHODES

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The Birmingham-Southern baseball team bounced back after two tough losses yesterday with a 13-1 win over the Rhodes Lynx. Brian Williams and Noah Best each recorded three hits in the win. 

After a scoreless first inning BSC opened up the scoring in the second. After the first two batters reached base, Austin Gentry laid down a bunt to move the runners over but the Rhodes pitcher was heads up and got the lead runner out at third. Brian Williams came up big with a hit to plate the first run of the game. After a walk and a strike out Birmingham-Southern got another run on the board after scoring on a wild pitch. After the second inning BSC led 2-0.

In the third inning the Panthers exploded for nine runs on seven hits to take a commanding 11-0 lead. Noah Best and Cam McNearney each hit a two-run homerun in the inning. BSC added two more runs in the fourth to extend their lead to 13-0. Birmingham-Southern took the final game of the series by a final score of 13-1. 

Joey White threw a gem throwing five innings of one run baseball, striking out three hitters and allowing just four hits. The bullpen came in and did their job pitching a scoreless rest of the game to help BSC to their fourth conference win on the season.
