Huntingdon got on the board in the bottom of the seventh inning on a RBI-single by senior Tyler Pruitt, and the Hawks rallied for a pair of runs in the eighth off of NCWC hurler Ben Moore.  HC's Kyle Eller led all players with three hits, while Pruitt added a pair of base knocks.  Matt Smith collected two hits, while Batts drove in three runs to pace the Bishops.

On Friday at LaGrange, Wesleyan's Blake Rice out-dueled the Panthers' Joey Merrifield. Rice, who threw a no-hitter in his first start, pitched a complete game five-hitter and improved to 2-0 on the season, walking one and striking out eight. Merrifield also went the distance, scattering eight hits. He allowed two earned runs, walked two, and struck out five.

The Bishops took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first when Mark Wooten drove home Luke Williford.  The Panthers, however, tied the game in their half of the frame and took a 2-1 lead in the second when Blake Allen drove in Korey Ison with an RBI-single to right.

The Bishops tied the game up in the fourth inning when Jason Webb scored during a Chris Pecora run-down, and NCWC went on to plate the deciding run in the fifth. Wooten delivered his second double of the game with one out, and an RBI-single up the middle by Ted Williams gave Wesleyan a 3-2 lead and the eventual win.

The road trip ended at Piedmont College on Saturday with the 5-4 loss.  The Bishops, who trailed 4-1 in the top of the ninth, battled back to tie the game behind a two-run double by Mark Wooten and RBI-single by Batts.  Piedmont, however, plated the eventual game-winner in the bottom of the frame.

Wooten finished 4-for-5 to pace the Bishops offensively, while Batts (0-1) took the tough loss on the mound.

The Battling Bishops return home to Bauer Field on Tuesday to host Virginia Wesleyan.  First pitch is slated for 2:30 p.m.
