CHARLESTON, W.Va. - The Golden Eagles took game one 5-3 from Concord before dropping game two 3-0 Saturday afternoon at Triana Field.

GAME 1

Concord University scored on a sacrifice fly by Andrew Seigel and an RBI single by Bret Blevins in the sixth inning and an RBI single by Brad Sullivan in the seventh inning. Despite its efforts, Concord University couldn't finish the comeback as Corey Lakatos worked a one run seventh to earn the save.

Alec Austin picked up the win for the UC Golden Eagles. Alec pitched six innings and allowed no earned runs, five hits and no walks while striking out two. Ryan Weatherholtz was the game's losing pitcher. He lasted six innings, walked one, struck out seven, and allowed five runs.

Charleston stayed on top until the final out after taking the lead in the first, scoring one run on an RBI single by Tyler Itnyre.  The Golden Eagles scored one run in each of the second, third, fifth, and sixth. In the second, UC scored on an RBI single by Robert Collin, scoring Anthony Brunetti. UC Golden Eagles scored on an RBI single by Jordan Banks, plating Ryan Foster in the third to take a 3-0 lead over the Mountain Lions.  Charleston put another run on the board in the fifth inning after a Brad Johnson single knocked in Tim Rein.  Leading 4-2 heading into the bottom of six, UC added another insurance run when a Ryan Foster double to left center brought around Zach Gunter who reached on a single and stole second earlier in the inning.
