CLINTON, S.C. – Backed by a dominant outing on the mound from Tristan McGregor, the Presbyterian College baseball team (16-16, Big South: 8-3) edged Longwood (8-23, Big South: 3-5) by a score of 3-2 on Saturday evening to secure the weekend series at the PC Baseball Complex.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• A scoreless first inning gave way to a two-run second frame from Longwood, putting the visitors ahead early, 2-0.
• Both teams went quiet over the next three innings before PC answered in the bottom of the sixth.
• Trey Fenderson led off the frame with a walk, and Jake Randolph followed with a base hit to put two on. Amman Dewberry then grounded out, but successfully moved both runners into scoring position. Matthew Rollison came through with a clutch two-RBI double to left-center, evening the score at 2-2.
• After a scoreless seventh, Randolph sparked the Blue Hose again in the eighth with a base hit. Dewberry followed with a go-ahead RBI double down the left field line to give PC a 3-2 advantage.
• Sean Hollister entered in the ninth and shut the door, earning the save and sealing the win—and the series—for Presbyterian.

 
NOTABLES

• McGregor delivered an amazing performance, tossing a career-high 8.1 innings with six strikeouts while allowing just two runs on six hits.
• Rollison's sixth-inning double marked his team-tying ninth of the season.
• Dewberry's clutch eighth-inning double was his seventh of the year.
