GREENSBORO, NC-Despite scoring 11 runs in the first game of the day, Hampden-Sydney allowed 15 to fall to Guilford College.

The Tigers started the game on the right track, bursting out to a 5-0 lead. Three of the first four batters reached base to load the bags.

In the second game, Hampden-Sydney was again able to get on the scoreboard first. Herbie Williams (Danville, VA/George Washington) led off with a triple, and then scored on a Martin RBI.

The next two innings were all Guilford, as the Quakers exploded for five runs in the first and seven in the second.

A Patrick Kuhns (Stafford, VA/North Stafford)run in the fifth got Hampden-Sydney back on the scoreboard, but Guilford added five more runs heading into the sixth with a commanding 17-2 lead.
