LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - LaGrange College picked up its first win of the 2012 season, beating Oglethorpe University 6-1 at Coolray Field on Saturday. The Panthers are now 1-3 on the season.

The Panthers finish their 3-game stand at Coolray Field on Saturday against 24th-ranked GSAC foe Piedmont. The game will not count toward the conference  standings. The Lions are 4-0 after shutting out Emory 2-0 on Saturday.

Robbie Williams (1-1) pitched seven strong innings to get the win. Williams allowed four hits, an unearned run, while walking and striking out three each. Matt Savage and Henry Jacobs each pitched a scoreless inning to close out the game.

The Panthers had a season-high 10 hits off four Oglethorpe (1-3) pitchers. Jon Brock and Brent Kinsey each had two hits. Kinsey also had two stolen bases.

The Panthers broke a scoreless tie in the fourth inning with a run. Brock's two-out single up the middle scored David Miller, who had reached on a single with one out.

In the fifth, the Panthers scored four runs to open up a 5-0 lead. James Hall led off the inning with a double and scored on Brandon Espinosa's bunt. Miller walked with the bases load to force in a run, then Doug Scherer added an RBI single and Kinsey drove in Anthony Iannetta with a sacrifice fly.

The Panthers closed out their scoring with a run in the sixth. The Panthers executed a double steal with Kinsey swiping second as Cameron Eison came home to make it 6-0.

Oglethorpe avoided the shutout in the seventh. Joseph Parillo singled to lead off the inning. After a two-out error kept the inning going, Parillo scored on Vernon Trice's base hit.
