WINTER HAVEN, Fla. - Senior Adam Putnam earned his first win of the season while junior Bennett Notestine, sophomore Zac Lange, and sophomore Levi Greenberg all had three hits each as the Rhodes College baseball team defeated UMass Boston in Florida on Friday afternoon.

The Lynx immediately took a 1-0 lead as junior Bill Munson led the game off with a solo homerun. It is his fourth straight game with a homerun and his fifth on the season. The Beacons got one back in the third to tie things up.
