Patriots drop first series of the season

FLORENCE, S.C. – Belmont Abbey College scored 18 unanswered runs to erase an early deficit and defeated Francis Marion University 19-2, Monday afternoon (March 4) in Conference Carolinas baseball action.

Francis Marion will host the College of Saint Rose for single games on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings at Sparrow Stadium.  First pitch is 6 p.m. on each night.  Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for students with FMU students being admitted free with ID.
 
Junior designated hitter Noah Stout led the Patriots at the plate with a pair of hits and a run batted in.
 
FMU junior right-hander Tyler Gall (1-1), the second of seven Patriots hurlers to toe the rubber, was tagged with the loss.
 
Belmont Abbey starter Alex Sniffen (4-0) earned the win with five strong innings.
 
After the Crusaders (9-8, 6-3) scored a single run in the top of the first, Francis Marion scored twice in the bottom of the frame, thanks to a pair of Belmont Abbey errors. Stout and junior second baseman Owen Taylor accounted for the tallies with run-scoring singles.
