LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN -- With a hot unforgiving sun, the Covenant Scots and the LaGrange Panthers took to the diamond again for games two and three of the three-game series. Covenant already took the first game the day before, but split the doubleheader against LaGrange on Saturday. LaGrange took game two 10-3 while the Scots came back and won game three 9-5.

 With the doubleheader split, Covenant takes two-out-of-three against the Panthers to improve their record to 12-11 overall and 4-5 in conference. LaGrange falls to 12-18 overall and 4-2 in GSAC action.

 Game One

 After a scoreless first inning, the Panthers struck first in the top of the second with five runs. Back-to-back singles produced a run scored by Jon Brock to give the Panthers a 1-0 lead. With runners on third and first, Miles Lee stepped up to the plate and tripled to plate two runs. Anthony Iannetta hit a single to bring Lee home and a sacrifice fly by Evin Eichelberger made the score 5-0.

 The Panthers continued to score a single run in the third inning when Brent Kinsey homered to left field. The Scots managed to score a run in the bottom of the same inning on a home run by James Rollins that just cleared the left field fence. The homer for Rollins was his first of the season.

 The Scots tried to climb back into the game in the sixth as Sterling Witt connected on his fourth homer of the year, a solo shot to right field, but the deficit was too great.

 Panthers starting pitcher Doug Scherer (4-3) was credited with the win after eight innings and allowing three runs and eight hits on 130 pitches. Scots starter Andre Glover (1-3) gets the loss after going just 2.2 innings and giving up five earned runs.
