NASHVILLE, Tenn. - NAIA No. 20 Trevecca Nazarene Trojans (5-5) hosted No. 18 Auburn Montgomery (9-5) on Friday for a double-header, dropping the second game 6-3.

In the second game, Wesley Griggs (0-2) took the mound for Trevecca and the Senators jumped on him early. Griggs allowed six runs - five earned - on eight hits in three innings of work while walking one and fanning one. Brent Amburn relieved Griggs in the fourth inning and kept the Senators at bay, allowing the Trojans to begin to chip away at the deficit. Brian Dirheimer homered in the fourth inning to get the Trojans on the board and the Trojans added two more in the sixth to cut the deficit to 6-3. Trevecca had a chance for more than just two in the inning, but they left the bases loaded when Matt Lyle grounded out to second. Amburn shut down the Senators in the seventh, but the Trojans went quietly in the bottom half, dropping the game 6-3. Brock Piper (1-0) earned the win for the Senators in the game. Dirheimer was 1-for-2 with the home run and an RBI, Marty Parks 1-for-4 was with a triple and a run scored, and Chris Lowe was 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored.
 
The two teams will face off in a 10 a.m. single game on Saturday at Trevecca's Jackson Field.
