The nationally-ranked Goldey-Beacom Lightning baseball squad endured a difficult day on the diamond, suffering defeats in both games of a doubleheader against Frostburg State University in Cary, North Carolina.
The Lightning, currently ranked 30th in the nation, first fell 9-2 in the opening contest before battling through extra innings in the nightcap, ultimately losing a marathon 12-inning affair by a score of 5-3.
The extended second game proved particularly challenging for Goldey-Beacom, as the team fought through nine additional frames beyond regulation play before Frostburg State managed to secure the victory.
The doubleheader sweep represents a setback for the Lightning’s season as they continue their campaign in North Carolina.
