Though Mary Baldwin started strong in the beginning of the game, Southern Virginia's team ultimately pulled off a comeback to beat the Fighting Squirrels in the series opener.

The Mary Baldwin Fighting Squirrels started the game off on the right foot by going up early in the first inning thanks for a sacrifice fly ball courtesy of #1 Noah Kessler to score #27 Michael Roberstson and held the lead for four more innings. The Southern Virginia Knights rallied in the fifth inning after a couple of errors to take and hold the lead for the rest of the game with a final being 12-3.

MBU held Southern Virginia to four scoreless innings thanks for #5 Tucker Hensley, but rallied in the fifth to score 5 runs thanks to multiple players having multi-hit games. #7 JT Stevenson and #9 Gavin Rush helped out Mary Baldwin's offense by having multi-hit games as well. 

Mary Baldwin looks to continue this conference weekend in the next two games versus Southern Virginia in tomorrow's doubleheader at 2 pm and 5 pm. They then return to Eastern Mennonite on Wednesday, April 10th to play their second game against the Lions.
