LC Baseball Finishes Methodist Diamond Invitational
FAYETTEVILLE, NC – The Lynchburg College baseball team concluded play at the Methodist University Diamond Invitational Sunday, falling 4-1 to the host Monarchs.

LC had runners on first and second with no outs in the eighth, but couldn't cut into the Monarch lead.
Michael Day worked 6 1/3 innings on the mound for LC, allowing 10 hits while striking out five. Logan Woodall threw 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief.
