GASTONIA, N.C. — A late rally fell short as Florence-Darlington Technical College dropped a 4-3 decision to Gaston College at Sims Legion Park.
The Stingers totaled eight hits but struggled to capitalize. Gabe Herold led the offense with two hits, an RBI, and two stolen bases. Tristan Strickland and Pat Costin each drove in a run as FDTC attempted to chip away at Gaston's early lead.
On the mound, the Stingers limited Gaston to just three hits but issued six walks, which proved costly. Starter Gavin MacDonald allowed two runs on one hit over 2 2/3 innings while striking out four. Peyton Rogers took the loss after surrendering two runs in 3 1/3 innings of relief. Noah Cribb and Cooper Coleman each tossed a scoreless inning to keep FDTC within striking distance.
Florence-Darlington Tech mounted a push in the eighth inning but could not complete the comeback. The Stingers fall to 1-2 in regional play. Up next, they travel to Myrtle Beach to play Danville Area Community College.
