LEXINGTON, Ky. – The Centre baseball team wrapped up their regular season with a trip to Legends Park to take on the Transylvania Pioneers. A rough second inning was the difference in the game as the Colonels fell 9-4 to end the season with a 29-11 record.
 
GAME HIGHLIGHTS
 
- After a scoreless opening frame, Transylvania broke loose in the second as a pair of Centre errors contributed to a five-run outburst for the Pioneers, with four of them unearned.
- In the third inning it was Centre's turn to take advantage of a miscue. After a leadoff base hit by Conner Jackson, a Pioneer error put runners on the corners, and a walk to Evan Weyler loaded the bases. Michael Lynch delivered a single that scored a pair of runs, and then Aaron Lopez and Chase Austin each walked, with the latter occurring with the bases loaded to drive in another run and cut the lead to5-3.
- The Pioneers led off the bottom of the inning with a solo homer and then tacked on three more in the sixth to go up by six.
- The Colonels bounced back with a run in the seventh as Weyler doubled down the line the other way and another RBI single scored the Centre catcher to make it a 9-4 game.
- Centre made it interesting in the end as they loaded the bases in the ninth with two outs, but failed to get the runners across.
 
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
 
- Lynch had an efficient night at the plate, going 2-2 with three RBIs and three walks.
- Aidan Christmas and TJ Schira both had strong outings out of the pen as they combined for six strikeouts across four perfect innings.
