The Bryan Lion’s baseball team tackled a tough three-game series this past weekend against the RedStorm of the University of Rio Grande (Ohio) and came out with two loses and one determined win.
Head Coach Taylor Hasty said that the RedStorm is a “very well-coached team from top to bottom” with “five really good seniors in their lineup who can all hit.”
This showed Friday night as Rio Grande took the lead in the first inning and caused a devastating loss of 15-3 for the Lions.
“Friday, we failed to throw strikes, and we really didn’t finish off hitters,” commented Hasty. “We had eight total walks, seven of which scored and we kind of lost momentum as a result of that.”
Junior pitcher Bronson Holland said, “I believe we’re better than the team we played. We just made costly mistakes.”
Saturday proved to be better for the Lions with the first game a close loss and the second a solid win. Read full story »

Lion’s baseball closed their worst season since the reinstatement of the program in 2005, finishing with a 6-45 overall record, and going only 2-25 in the Appalachian Athletic Conference.
