ELKINS, W. Va. – The Concord University baseball team lost at Davis & Elkins, 8-4, Sunday in West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference competition.

Davis & Elkins did not trail on Sunday after scoring three runs in the first inning against Concord starter
Devin Smith. The Senators added two more runs in the second inning to extend its lead to 5-0 before the Mountain Lions scored their first run of the day on a passed ball in the third inning.
Concord inched closer in the fourth inning when freshman outfielder
Andrew Seigel drove in two runs off of a double to cut the D&E lead to just 5-3. Seigel proceeded to bring Concord to within one run of the Senators when he hit a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning to score sophomore second baseman
Jerrod Groves.
However, Davis & Elkins responded with three runs in the seventh inning to push its lead to 8-4, a lead the Senators would keep for the rest of the game to avoid the three-game sweep.
