CLINTON, S.C. - The Radford Baseball team dropped game three of their weekend series with a final score of 9-2 against Presbyterian Sunday afternoon at PC Baseball Complex.

Cameron Pittman would lead off the Highlanders with a triple down the right field line and Jhonkeanu Perez would ground out to the second baseman allowing Pittman to find home and put up the first run in today's game. Presbyterian would score a single run to tie the game in the bottom of the first. In the second, the Blue Hose would go on a bit of a run as they were able to put six runs in the inning and pull away with the 7-1 lead. 

In the third the Highlanders would get one back with a Conner Butler single to left center to drive in Zack Whitacre for the easy score. However, in the sixth, Presbyterian would continue to add on to their lead as they were able to put up a pair of runs to leave the score at 9-2 heading to seventh. The remaining three innings of the game would be locked into a pitcher's duel as neither side could find an opportunity to score a run and leave the score at 9-2 to finish off the series.
