  • Lenoir-Rhyne added a solo home run in the ninth, but the Warhawks fell short.

MANAGER'S CORNER
  • "We showed maturity to come out and win more pitches today after learning from yesterday," said head coach Franklin Bush. "We set the tone in the first two innings and didn't waiver. We now get some downtime with an off weekend to recover at a high level and prepare for next week. We will use this time to get better and continue to attack or standard with the mission to play our best baseball down the stretch."
UP NEXT
  • The Warhawks resume action on Tuesday, April 9 as they visit Americus, Ga. to take on Georgia Southwestern State University at 5 p.m. CT.
