MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. (March 1, 2001) - The Shenandoah University baseball team was unable to extend its winning streak to three games Thursday afternoon, losing 9-1 to Division II Georgia State College and University at John Kurtz Field in Milledgeville, Ga.

Shenandoah (2-2) scored its only run of the game in its final at-bat of the contest. With one out, junior Tommy Delaney (Fairfax Station, Va./Hayfield) reached on a fielder’s choice and moved to second on an error by second baseman Jason Samples. Classmate Shane Lloyd (Alexandria, Va./Hayfield) then drove home Delaney with a double to left. For Lloyd, the RBI came on his team-leading fourth double of the season.

GCSU (9-6) ruined the opener of the Hornets six game Spring Break trip to Georgia and Florida by scoring one run in the second and three more in the third to take a commanding 4-0 lead. All four runs came off of SU starter Chris Kees (Gore, Va./James Wood), who fell to 1-1 on the year after giving up seven runs (six earned) on 10 hits and two walks in 6.2 innings. Kees also struck out two.
