WSSU falls to Seton Hill in regional

WEST LAWN, Pennsylvania -- The record will show that sixth-seeded Winston-Salem State lost 3-2 Thursday to top-seeded Seton Hill in the first round of the NCAA Division II Atlantic Regional baseball tournament.

The record also will show that the winning run was set up by a two-base throwing error by third baseman Devin McLemore of WSSU on a grounder by right fielder Cody Herald in the bottom of the fourth inning. Herald scored on a double by center fielder Jackson Boyd — the only extra-base hit of the game.

But records are sometimes misleading. Starter Sheldon Johnson (2-5, 2.37 ERA) of the Rams was the more effective pitcher, even though starter Brad Schnelle of the Griffins posted his ninth victory against no losses. Johnson struck out nine and walked one. Schnelle struck out one and walked three over his 8 2/3 innings and left with the tying run on second in the person of Dominique Fitzgerald.
