High Point, NC - Ian Bast threw seven shutout innings as Greensboro baseball defeated Mary Baldwin 10-1 on Friday in their first USA South game of the season.

In the sixth, Hayen would hit a two-run bomb to left field for his second homer of the season to extend the lead to 10-0. In total, the Pride had sixteen hits on the day.

Rush Bowman had a breakout game going 4-4 with a double and an RBI. Chris Le had three hits, while Brody Gardner, Dominic Scavone, and Hayen all had two hits each. Dolan Ramsey and Brett Sutterby each pitched one inning out of the bullpen.
