LIVINGSTON, Ala.
-- An 8-5 loss Sunday at West Alabama has
dropped the University of North Alabama
baseball team into a tie for fourth place in
the Gulf South Conference East Division with
one three-game series to play.
UNA trailed 4-0
early before Josh Graham blasted a three-run
homer in the fourth to get the Lions back in
the game. The Tigers added four more runs in
the sixth for an 8-3 lead, and single runs
by UNA in the seventh and eighth innings
weren't enough.

now 26-19 overall and 6-9 in the GSC. North
Alabama is tied with Alabama-Huntsville for
the fourth and final East Division spot in
the GSC Tournament and the Lions and
Chargers meet this Saturday and Sunday in
Florence in a three-game series.
