FERRUM, Va. -- Ferrum College secured at least a share of the USA South regular season baseball title with tonight's 5-2 win over Averett University at Panther Field. The win was the second in as many day over the Cougars.

Records
Ferrum (24-10, 14-3 USA South), Averett (18-18, 7-10 USA South)

How It Happened
Averett scored a run in the top of the first inning, but Ferrum struck back with three in the bottom of the frame. Lucas Stevers doubled, then Anderson Ramos and Lane Deaver walked to load the bases with two outs. Jo Stickney then doubled to right-center to drive in three runs. Averett scored another run in the fifth inning to cut the lead to 3-2, but Ferrum answered with a run in the sixth. The Panthers added an insurance run in the eighth inning on Jake Martin's RBI double down the left field line.

Key Stats
Ferrum: Stevers 2-4, double, RBI; Dillon Weaver (W, 6-2) 5 hits, 1 ER, 1 walk, 4K; Hunter Peck (Sv, #2) 1 inn, 2K
Averett: Joshua Hatcher (L, 4-2) 8 inn, 5 hits, 4 ER, 14K

Back to the Park
Coach Ryan Brittle's team will be back in action Sunday at 3:00 p.m. at Panther Field to play the last of three games against the Cougars. A win would secure an outright USA South title and grab the top seed in next week's USA South Tournament, to be played Thursday through Sunday, April 14-17, in Rocky Mount, North Carolina.
