Pitching woes continue for Baseball as they drop to Mount Vernon 17-10

DAVENPORT, Fla. – It was a football game between Cornerstone and Mount Vernon this morning with the Cougars coming out on to 17-10 over the Golden Eagles. Mount Vernon jumped out to an early 10-1 lead but a big eight run inning by Cornerstone made it interesting, but it wasn't enough to overcome in the loss. Matthew Kindley and Luke Griffith both went deep for Cornerstone as Andrew Meny drove in four. Cornerstone faces off against Bethel tomorrow morning for a double header starting at 11 a.m.
