TIGERVILLE, S.C. – Palm Beach Atlantic baseball dropped a midweek contest with No. 9 North Greenville on Tuesday, as the Crusaders scored six runs in the bottom of the eighth to win 10-4.  The 'Fish fall to 6-8 on the season while NGU improves to 9-5 with the win.

The Crusaders struck first with three runs in the second inning, as Sailfish starter Brad VanAsdlen struggled with command in the frame walking two and throwing two wild pitches.  The 'Fish did not take long to strike back, as Riley Herold led off the third with a solo homerun and the 'Fish scored two more in the inning on a Brandon Smith single to centerfield.

North Greenville plated one more run in the fourth inning before Kevin Nunez escaped a jam.  Nunez went on to have a great outing on the mound, as he threw 3.1 scoreless frames in relief.  The 'Fish trailed 4-3 until the seventh inning, when Sean Houck led off the inning with a single, and came around to score the tying run on a two-out triple to right field off the bat of Brandon Seltzer.

Unfortunately for the Sailfish, the Crusader bats came alive in the eighth inning as they scored six runs in the eighth inning off a trio of Sailfish pitchers.

Smith led the way for the 'Fish at the plate, finishing 3-for-4 on the day with two RBI.  Seltzer and Herold both went 2-for-5 in the game and each drove in a run.

PBA will return to action on Friday, March 1 as they will head to Daytona Beach, Fla. to face off with Embry-Riddle in an SSC three-game set.
