LAGRANGE, Ga. – With inclement weather on the horizon, the LaGrange College Panthers are rescheduling our plans for Thursday through Saturday.

Baseball

The LaGrange baseball team (18-15, 7-8 CCS) is coming off their biggest win of the season as they swept nationally-ranked Piedmont College last weekend, picking up three wins that saw the Panthers surge up in the Collegiate Conference of the South (CCS) standings with their regular-season ending series against Maryville yet to come.

Sophomore pitcher Josiah Chiesa (Dalton, Ga.) was named CCS Pitcher of the Week, as he was instrumental in the Panthers' come-from-behind wins over the Lions of Piedmont on Friday and Saturday, entering both games in relief and throwing a combined four-and-two-thirds shutout innings, striking out six and allowing no hits. Freshman centerfielder Tanner Morneau (Marietta, Ga.) earned CCS Rookie of the Week honors, after playing a key role in the sweep. Morneau batted .533 (8-for-15), scoring six runs while driving in six more. Morneau recorded a double and a triple, drew two walks, and added a stolen base, while also finishing the week with a perfect fielding percentage in center field.

Due to projected inclement weather on Saturday, the Panthers' series against the Scots of Maryville will now be as follows: The series opens at Cleaveland Field in Williamson Stadium on Thursday at 7:00 p.m. LaGrange senior day will begin on Friday at 1:30 p.m., where the Panthers will recognize their senior class from this year's team. After the ceremony, LaGrange and Maryville will play at 2:00 p.m. Friday, which is now a double-header. Friday's game two is tentatively scheduled to begin at 5:00 p.m.

No games will be played on Saturday.

The Scots of Maryville (23-14, 7-8 CCS) enter the series with the best pitching staff in the CCS, boasting a 4.15 ERA in 37 games. They are led by Titus Torbett with a 4-3 record and a 2.40 ERA and 38 strikeouts. Their lineup is led by Det Dettwiller, batting .397 with five home runs and 32 RBI.

Softball

The LaGrange College softball team (14-20, 9-5 CCS) travels to Belhaven University on Saturday for their regular season ending double-header against the first-place Tartans.

The Panthers are currently in a three-way tie for third place in the CCS standings, enjoying their best season since joining the conference. Senior pitcher / second baseman Claire Chamberlain leads the team at the plate with a .324 batting average with 12 walks and 11 RBI while pitching with a 3.77 ERA.

The Tartans of Belhaven (20-8, 11-1 CCS) are led by Melissa Lopera with a .405 batting average to go along with five home runs and 35 RBI.

Track and Field

The LaGrange College men's and women's track and field teams competed in the CCS Championships this week. In just their first season as a program, the Panthers took home six first-place gold medals with three more top three finishes.

Freshman Ryheem Mighten (Kingston, Jamaica) dominated in the men's 400-meter dash on Wednesday, destroying his own school record with a 47.81 to claim the first place medal, shaving 1.19 off his previous best time. At press time, Mighten's time ranked him 15th in the nation. Mighten later won the men's 200-meter dash finals, posting a time of 21.57.

Freshman Khristian Bell (Tyrone, Ga.) picked up the first CCS gold medal in school history on Tuesday when she came in first in the women's long jump with a career-best mark of 5.22 meters. Bell later took first in the women's triple jump with a 11.16 meters, breaking her own LaGrange record.

Freshman A'mya Hill (Fitzgerald, Ga.) claimed first in the women's 100-meter dash with a time of 12.32, winning her first individual medal.

In the women's 4 x 100 meter relay on Wednesday, the Panthers would again demonstrate their speed as the quartet of Bell, Hill, freshman Kevanique Hill (George Town, Cayman Islands) and freshman Jillian Coney (Atlanta, Ga.) took first place with a school-record time of 49.59.
