Mary Baldwin baseball and Greensboro combined for 11 home runs, but the Pride swept the doubleheader, winning 17-6 in Game 1 and 20-12 in Game 2.

Game 1

Game one started fast as both teams traded three-run first innings. Evan Sykes hit a two-run home run, and Trevor Testerman followed with a solo shot to center field.

In the bottom half, sophomore Connor Michael stepped to the plate and, on a 3-1 count, drove the next pitch deep to left-center for a home run. After a sacrifice fly from freshman Noel Cano-Rocha trimmed the lead to one, sophomore Camden Bauswell added a solo home run to keep pace.

The Pride began to pull away in the second inning as Testerman hit his second home run of the game, a three-run shot that gave Greensboro an 8-3 lead.
Down 9-4 in the fourth inning, senior Jacob Barber answered with a home run of his own, cutting the deficit to four.

Mary Baldwin continued to fight but could not overcome the deficit. Testerman would record with his third home run of the game in the eighth inning, extending the lead to 13-6 and helping seal the 17-6 win.

Game 2
Game two turned into a back-and-forth slugfest early before Greensboro took control late, pulling away for a 20-12 victory.

Mary Baldwin wasted no time jumping ahead, scoring five runs in the first inning on a combination of hits, walks and aggressive baserunning to take a 5-2 lead.

Greensboro responded in the third inning, capitalizing on MBU defensive errors before Dawson Shelton launched a three-run home run to left-center, flipping the score to 6-5.
The Fighting Squirrels struggled defensively recording six errors compared to just three from Greensboro.

Down 8-5 senior Isiah Brooks homered to left field. The Fighting Squirrels two back to back shutout innings to regain momentum. In the bottom of the freshman Patrick Sido would hit a sacrifice fly to tie the game at eight a piece.

Greensboro began to separate in the sixth inning as Brayden Sands delivered a two-run triple to give the Pride a 10-8 edge. That momentum carried into the seventh inning, when Greensboro erupted for seven runs on five hits as Shelton delivered a three-run homer.

Despite trailing, Mary Baldwin continued to battle offensively. The Fighting Squirrels plated three runs in the eighth inning, highlighted by a two-run single from Barber, and added another run in the ninth on an RBI single from senior Dalton Hall.

Greensboro, however, continued to add insurance, scoring in the eighth and ninth innings. Testerman's two-run double in the ninth capped the scoring and helped secure the 20-12 win.
