MOUNT BERRY, Ga. - The Rhodes College baseball team dropped a pair of road contests to the Berry College Vikings in Southern Athletic Association play on Friday afternoon.

In the first contest against the Vikings, Rhodes found themselves in a 6-0 hole after five innings of play as Berry was able to get to starter Cameron Tinker. The Lynx got a pair of runs back in the seventh thanks to a two run RBI from junior Bennett Notestine.

However, Berry added a run in the eighth to earn the win. Tinker took the loss, going three complete and allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits to go with three walks. Freshman Daniel Kurtzer pitched 4.1 innings of relief, allowing three runs, while sophomore Tim Burr pitched the final 0.2 innings, allowing no hits.

Offensively, junior Bill Munson finished 3-for-4 on the afternoon while Notestine was 2-for-3 with two RBIs. Freshmen Will Hunt and Jordan Baker each scored a run for the Lynx.

In the second game, senior Daniel Morris put together a terrific effort on the mound, but could not get any run support as Berry scored two runs in the sixth to hold off and shut out Rhodes, 2-0.

Morris went six complete, allowing two runs off six hits to go with four strikeouts. However, his counterpart, Ben Jernigan from Berry, pitched the complete game in the seven inning contest, allowing no runs off only three hits.

Notestine and sophomores Zac Lange and Levi Greenberg had the only hits for Rhodes. 

The Lynx fall to 15-12 on the season and 6-5 in SAA play. They will look to salvage a game in the series as they take on Berry tomorrow at 1 PM ET.
