Baseball Drops One-Run Affair at Samford Saturday

Birmingham, Ala. – Western Carolina managed to pull even with league-leading Samford on Saturday with a James Hinson RBI single in the top of the seventh inning. However, the Bulldogs answered with the eventual game-winning marker on a sacrifice fly in the home portion of the frame. For a second-consecutive day, WCU again threatened in the ninth inning, but stranded two of their 10 runners left on base in the final frame as the Bulldogs held on to claim the series with a 6-5 victory at Joe Lee Griffin Field.
