Baseball splits doubleheader with Centre to open SAA season

The Oglethorpe baseball team won the first game of a doubleheader 7-2 over the visiting Centre Colonels Saturday at Anderson Field, but fell 5-3 in the seven-inning second game. The Stormy Petrels scored 4 runs in the fourth inning of Game 1 to turn around an early 2-0 deficit, then added insurance runs in the fifth and sixth innings. They fell behind 5-0 in Game 2 and managed only one hit through the first six innings, but then rallied for 3 runs in the seventh. The comeback attempt ended with the potential tying runs in scoring position.
