Lynx Edge Petrels for Three Game Sweep in Memphis

The Oglethorpe University baseball team dropped a three game series this past weekend to Rhodes College in Memphis. The Petrels dropped game one 4-2, game two 16-4 and then fell in extra innings 7-6 in the series finale.

Matt Cornwell pitched 6 strong innings in game one, only allowing 4 runs but the Petrels bats could not get going to help him out offensively. The Lynx scored two in first and two in the third and made that 4 runs hold up for the victory. The Petrels could only muster 5 hits on the afternoon with Adam Brazenas driving in two runs in the top of the sixth.

The Lynx jumped all over Oglethorpe in game two, posting 5 runs in the first inning on their way to the 16-4 victory. Andy Farrey (2-for-4, RBI) and Joe Parillo (2-for-3, RBI) had multi-hit games for Oglethorpe in the loss.

In Sunday's finale, the Lynx tied the game in the bottom of the ninth and then stole the 7-6 victory in the eleventh inning to send Oglethorpe to their seventh straight defeat. The Petrels held a 6-2 lead after six innings but could not hold the lead in the late innings. Mark Hoban pitched 8 and a third strong innings and only allowed 5 earned runs. Andy Farrey had a huge game at the dish for Oglethorpe in the close loss, going 5-for-6 with two doubles and a run scored.

Oglethorpe is now 10-10 on the season and will travel to North Carolina to face Greensboro College in a doubleheader this Wednesday.
