The Covenant Scots split a doubleheader against the Emory Eagles, in an NCAA Division III baseball game on Saturday, March 4, 2023.
In the first game of the twin bill, Scots junior pitcher Bryce Bollinger (Portland, Tenn.) worked his way out of a bases loaded jam in the top of the first without allowing a run, setting the tone for the rest of the game.
The next couple of innings were relatively uneventful offensively – with only one Scot and one Eagle reaching base – in what turned out to be the beginning of a pitcher's duel between Covenant's Bollinger and Emory's Joey Bock.
The Scots threatened in the bottom of the fourth with singles by junior shortstop Zeke Gilbert (Douglasville, Ga.) and sophomore first baseman Chris Savage (Burleson, Texas), but failed to score. Bollinger retired the Eagles, 3-up 3-down, on seven pitches in the top of the fifth, and the pitcher's duel continued in the sixth frame as both pitchers retired the side, 3-up 3-down, each with two strikeouts in the inning.
