MONTEVALLO, Ala. – The University of Montevallo baseball team lost a series-deciding game three to conference foe Union University on Sunday afternoon, 11-6. The Falcons are now 4-5 on the year and also have a 4-5 mark in Gulf South Conference play.
 
The Falcons started off strong, getting a run in both the first and second innings to hold a 2-0 lead. However, Union, who played as the home team in this weekend's series, exploded for a six-run bottom of the second to firmly take control of the game.
 
Khalid Collymore, who reached base after being hit by a pitch, scored on error in the first inning to get things going for UM. Montevallo struck again in the second when Riley Cain hit a single to bring Ryan Curran home and give the Falcons a 2-0 lead.
 
Union's huge second innings consisted of a two-run homer, two runs scored off of an error and two RBI singles.
 
UM scored a run in the fourth and sixth innings to go along with two more in the seventh, but the Bulldogs responded in each of those innings by matching UM's run production, while also adding a run in the fifth.
 
Ryan Curran led the Falcons once again at the plate, going 4-for-4 with two doubles and scoring three runs. Curran is now hitting .524 on the season through nine games.
 
UP NEXT: Montevallo will host Tuskegee University at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, March 3, in a non-conference matchup.
