Despite solid pitching from Lawson Ryan and Charlie Faero, CBU was unable to secure a victory in a three game weekend set against #13 Delta State at The Nate in Memphis.  CBU led in two of the three games, but Delta State came from behind in both of them.

GAME 1

GAME 2
     CBU jumped out to a 2-0 lead after two innings scoring a run in the first and one in the second.  Cory Steinhauer and Andrew Reed drove in the runs for the Bucs.  After tying the game 2-2 in the fourth inning, Delta State exploded scoring 12 more times to win the game, 14-2.  Sam Walker and Andrew Reed doubled for Christian Brothers.

GAME 3
CBU again had the lead, 2-1, heading into the sixth inning of a seven inning game.  Delta State tied it in the sixth and then pushed across three runs in the top of the seventh to win, 5-2.  Charlie Faero pitched six and two-thirds strong innings for the Bucs striking out six and allowing only five hits.
