Southern Rowan lost 5-3 to Davidson County on Friday at Holt-Moffitt Field despite some good pitching by Dylan Snider.
Snider struck out four in relief of starter Bo Corriher and put up a lot of zeroes.
“Four errors hurt us,” SR coach Ben Hampton said. “And we missed a lot of opportunities to drive in runs. We had the bases loaded in the eighth and hit into a DP. We just couldn’t get that key hit.”
Down 5-1 after three innings, SR got a run back in the fourth and another in the fifth to climb within 5-3, but that was it.
Chase Labbe had two hits for Southern (3-6), which has lost five of six.
Marcus Shoemaker had three hits for Post 8 (11-5). Austin Stilley had two.
Southern Rowan is home tonight against Rowan County, although it’s another game that won’t count in the league standings. John Daugherty is expected to pitch for Southern.
Southern and Rowan have met 40 times since the SR program began in 1996. See Scoreboard for the history of the series.
