The Greensboro College baseball team lost its second consecutive one run game on Sunday, 6-5 to Shenandoah. One day after losing, 4-3 in the final inning of play, The Pride saw a 4-1 lead slip away in a 6-5 loss to the Hornets.
After falling behind 1-0 through three, Greensboro scored four in the fourth to take a 4-1 advantage. The outburst was highlighted by a two run homerun by Grant Kelley.
The lead was shortlived, however, as Shenandoah scored one in the bottom of the fourth and two in the fifth to tie the game at 4-4. The Hornets regained the lead in the eighth inning with two more runs to make the score 6-4 heading into the ninth.
The Pride threatened in their last at-bat, putting the first three hitters on base, including an RBI double by Kelley. However, with no outs and runners on second and third, Greensboro could not convert, with the next three hitters going down on strikes.
Kelley recorded three of The Pride's five hits and accounted for three of the team's four RBI. Brian Robbett suffered the loss on the mound, throwing one inning of relief for starter Michael Cobb.
Greensboro is now 15-9 overall and 3-5 in the USA South. The Pride will look to bounce back on Tuesday at home against Tufts. Game time is set for 7 p.m. at War Memorial Stadium.
