GREENSBORO --  The Greensboro College baseball team won for the fourth time in five games, following a 12-2 victory over the visiting Suny Old Westbury Panthers at War Memorial Stadium.  The win gives GC a second two-game winning streak of the season. 

The Pride was led at the plate by Jesse Sutton, who went 2-for-3, 2 RBIs, and two runs scored along with Larry Lockhart who was 2-for-4 and an RBI.  Six other GC batters managed one hit in the game, with Anthony Aversano only at-bat resulting in a three-run homer. 

The Pride's starting pitcher Kevin Mong (2-1) departed after six complete innings, allowing four hits, two walks, while striking out five Panther batters. Mound counterpart Zach Flinn (0-1) of the Panthers left two innings earlier, after allowing seven Pride hits, six earned runs, and three walks. 

The Pride (8-6) managed two runs over the first three innings of the game, the first as a result of Jeremy Morrison being hit by a pitch, the second time in consecutive games that Morrison led the game off by being hit.  With a stolen base and a wild pitch moving Morrison to third, GC took a 1-0 lead with a sacrifice fly by Brent Justice. 

In the third, another pitching mishap would bring home Jeff Gregory.  This time in a pick-off move, an errant throw by Zach Flinn would allow Gregory to score from third base, and up the lead to 2-0. 

GC broke the game open in the third, scoring four runs on five hits.  A Jesse Sutton double off the center field wall scored Taylor Kennedy for the first run of the inning. Jeff Gregory followed with a single that ricocheted off Panther pitcher Flinn's leg, and wound up between first and second base allowing Sutton and teammate Chad Alligood to move The Pride lead to 5-0.  The final GC run of the inning came on Flinn's third wild pitch of the game, this time allowing Brent Justice to score from third with two outs. 

The Pride tacked on two more runs in the home half of the fifth inning, with a Jesse Sutton two-run home run over the right field wall, giving GC a 8-0 advantage. 

GC scored its ninth run of the game, and seventh in consecutive innings, when an error by Panther second baseman Felix Tatis, moved Morrison to third base.  Lockhart subsequently drove in the batter with a fielder's choice, bringing Morrison home. 

The Pride hit a second home run in the home half of the eighth, this time a three-run shot off the bat of Anthony Aversano over the left field bleachers and Sarge's Army.  Aversano's first home run of the season, brought home Chris Hewitt and Larry Lockhart for the 12-2 final.
