GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Seven Greensboro
Collge batters got at least one hit in an 11-4 win at War Memorial Stadium
over Vassar College. The Pride extended its win streak to six consecutive
games.
Leading the way for The Pride (12-6)

fell a home run short of hitting for the cycle. He singled, doubled, and
tripled. Also registering multiple hits for GC was Chad Alligood
(3-of-5,
3 RBIs, two doubles) and Kevin Mong (2-for-2, 2 RBI, 2 runs).
GC starter Chris Mock (1-0)
threw five complete innings, scattered eight hits, allowed two earned runs,
and fanned three Brewers (0-3). For Vassar, starter Quinn Robinson's
(0-2) outing was not as successful, allowing 10 hits, nine earned runs,
five walks, while striking out four Pride batters.
The Pride scored four runs in the
first, two of which came off the bat of Alligood on a single over the head
of the shortstop. Pride baserunners Mong and Lockhart scampered home on
the play. With three GC runners reaching base due to a walk, and
Lockhart reaching after being hit on the wrist, it took just two hits for
The Pride to take a 4-0 lead.
In the home half of the third, GC
scored three additional runs, again relying on the lower half of the order.
Alligood, with two runners in scoring position, hit a double down the left
field line scoring Mong. The ninth hitter in the GC lineup, catcher
Brandon
Stanford, drove in two RBIs on a double that reached the centerfield
wall. The Stanford double brought home Alligood and Anthony Aversano,
giving GC a 7-0 lead.
Jacob Clotfelter entered the
game for GC starter Mock in the sixth. Vassar tacked on two more runs.
Again with the bases loaded, the Brewers brought home Ivan Cedillo on walk.
The Brewers Marc Ramos grouded into a second double play turned by GC,
bringing Nate Webb home from third base.
Centerfielder Lockhart led off the
sixth inning for GC with a triple to left field. Mong followed with
an RBI single to left field, bringing Lockhart across the plate for the
10-4 GC lead.
The Pride added one run in the eighth
inning, after Lockhart lead the game off with a single to left field and
moved to third on consecutive steals. A passed ball with Aversano
at the plate for GC, allowed Lockhart to score easily, and give GC its
final run of the game in the 11-4 win.
