Lander Falls to Columbus State, 9-2, in Series Finale

COLUMBUS, Ga. - The Lander baseball team fell behind early and could not generate consistent offense until late in the game in a 9-2 loss to Columbus State on Sunday afternoon at Burger King Stadium at Ragsdale Field.

The Cougars scored in three of the first four innings to take a 3-0 lead before adding two runs in the fifth. A four-run seventh inning put the game out of reach.

Lander found some offensive rhythm in the eighth, plating a pair of runs on a sacrifice fly from Pip Smalley and a bases-loaded walk from Carter McCormick. However, a double play ended the inning with the bases loaded and halted any chance of a larger rally.

The Bearcats return home this week, beginning with a matchup against Mars Hill on Tuesday at 5 p.m. before opening a three-game series against Georgia Southwestern on Friday at 6 p.m.
