Box Score

The Centre baseball team wrapped up its weekend series with an 11-1 loss at No. 10 Birmingham-Southern on Sunday.

Also picking up base hits on the day for Centre were Andrew Olson (Louisville, Ky.), Ben Coates (Nicholasville, Ky.), and Zach Montgomery (Louisville, Ky.).

Stephen Shunk (Lexington, Ky.) was credited with the loss for the Colonels after allowing six runs over 2.1 innings of work. Each team used six pitchers on the day, with Birmingham-Southern's Stephen Himic taking the win after working a scoreless fifth inning.
