Baseball's Late Push Falls Short Against Embry-Riddle

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- The Auburn University at Montgomery baseball team's ninth-inning rally fell just short, as Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University did just enough to hold off the Warhawks 3-2 on Sunday afternoon at Sliwa Stadium.

Jake Spivey and Jordan Moore each added RBI singles in the last of the ninth inning, but AUM stranded the potential tying and winning runs on a ground out to close the game. The Warhawks got yet another solid effort out of their starting pitcher, but Clay Slagle (1-1) was the hard-luck loser after he worked 5.2 innings and yielded just four hits against one walk and one strikeout.
