Lourdes wrapped up its spring trip on Thursday, dropping a 14-2 contest to fifth-ranked Tennessee Wesleyan at Jack Bowling Field in Athens, Tenn.
 
"They are a very solid team," head coach Josh Bradford said after the game.  "They swung the bats well and we didn't today."
 
The Bulldogs opened the game scoring a pair of runs in the opening inning, only to see the Gray Wolves answer quickly in the second.  Bryce Gargus (South Haven, Mich./South Haven H.S.) singled home Jay Denman (Toledo, Ohio/Saint Francis de Sales H.S.) with Lourdes first run.  Zack Mon (Columbus, Ohio/Westland H.S.), who was hit by a pitch, used two wild pitches to cross the plate, tying the game at two.
 
Tennessee Wesleyan (16-6) retook the lead with two runs in the third and added two unearned tallies in the fourth.  Leading 7-2 heading into the bottom of the seventh, the Bulldogs scored seven times, closing the game on a three-run home run by Chase Fullington.
 
Chanlder Kendall earned the win (2-1), working five innings while allowing two runs on three hits and striking out seven.  Kolby Rogge (Holland, Ohio/Springfield H.S.) suffered the loss (1-2), allowing four runs and eight hits in three innings of work.
 
Lourdes (7-7) is scheduled to have nine days off before opening Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference play on Saturday, March 21, as the Gray Wolves travel to Grand Rapids, Mich. for doubleheader action.  First pitch is slated for 1 p.m. at DeWitt Stadium.
