MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The Centre baseball team wrapped up its three-game series against the Rhodes Lynx on Sunday afternoon. The Colonels had numerous opportunities with runners in scoring position, but failed to get any of them across in a 3-0 loss.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS

- Rhodes tacked on two more runs in the fifth after an RBI triple and an error, but the pitching took over the next few innings on both sides.
- Centre made its largest threat in the eighth as Patrick Hope walked, followed by consecutive singles from Jordan Gunter and Cunningham to load the bases with one out, but again failed to convert with runners in scoring position.
- In the ninth, the Colonels put the first two hitters on following a hit by pitch and an error, but lined into a double play to end the threat and the game.
