Vikings Drop Doubleheader to Rhodes

Berry's baseball team came up just shy in game one of its Southern Athletic Association opener with Rhodes, falling 7-6 in the last at bat of the contest. In game two of the doubleheader, Berry dropped a 6-2 decision.

Game One: Rhodes 7, Berry 6
The Vikings used two runs in the third inning to take a 2-1 advantage over the Lynx. Nick Brunswick singled home Garrett Lang for the first run, then a Wesley Wade groundout brought in Zachary Hardee with the second run. Levi Cloud would extend the lead in the fifth as his sacrifice fly plated Hardee to make it 3-1.

Rhodes would roar back with four runs in the bottom of the fifth to take a 5-3 lead. Undaunted, the Vikings mounted a rally of their own. Joey Garcia's RBI double in the seventh plated Wade and made it 5-4. Later in the inning, Garcia would trot home to score on John D'Amelio's RBI base knock.

In the eighth, the Vikings moved back ahead in the contest. With two men on, Brunswick would single, bringing Wesley Maxey in to score and giving the Vikings a 6-5 lead.

The score stayed the same until the bottom of the ninth. A one-out RBI triple would plate the tying run, then a sacrifice fly would score the game-winner for the home side. The loss was Berry's fifth when the opposing team took the lead in its final at bat.

Game Two: Rhodes 6, Berry 2
In the seven inning game of the series, the contest would be tight until the final frames again. Garcia would help the Vikings draw first blood in the second as his solo homer made it 1-0. Rhodes (7-5, 3-2 SAA) would answer with two runs in the bottom of the inning on a pair of RBI singles.

Berry (4-10, 0-2 SAA) came back to tie the game in the fifth. After D'Amelio made it to third on a three-base error, Andrew Pendleton would lift a sacrifice fly deep enough to bring in the tying run, knotting the score at 2-all. Rhodes would quickly respond in the bottom half of the inning as a two-run homer gave the Lynx back the lead. A run-scoring single and a sacrifice fly would add on two insurance runs in the home half of the sixth, and Rhodes would take the victory.

The Vikings will look to salvage the third game of the series Saturday at Noon EST.
