DANVILLE, Ky. – The Centre baseball team began the final series of the regular season as they hosted the Oglethorpe Stormy Petrels under the lights at Gary Wright Field at Fishman Park.
 
GAME HIGHLIGHTS
 
- In the third inning, the Colonels got on the board first. Jordan Gunter ripped a double down the right field line and eventually scored on a sacrifice fly by Josh Cunningham.
