JACKSONVILLE,
FL -- Presbyterian College baseball opened the 2001

Barry got on the board
first in the bottom of the second inning on an Alex
Lorenzo double to left field to score Luis
Boullon. The
Blue Hose fought right back in the top of the fourth when

(Virginia Beach, VA) walked and later scored on
sophomore shortstop Tombo

to tie the game at 1. Later
in the same inning, Hite scored off of sophomore designated

and PC took a 2-1 lead. The
lead would disappear later in the fourth inning on a double to
right center off the bat of Henry
Owen to score teammate Joglys
Ramos from second and tie the game at 2.
Barry took the lead in the fifth inning on a
fielder’s choice and would not look back and go on to win
9-2.
The Blue Hose were led by
