Recap: SLU vs Southern

Officially it will go down as a 9-0 forfeit win for the Lions over Southern.  Although Southern was leading 2-1 in the top of the 8th inning when play was suspended due to lightning, because Southern refused to take the field when play was to resume they officially forfeited the game.

Lions Get Forfeit Win Against Southern

It will go down as the most bizarre win in Southeastern history.  Trailing 2-1 with runners on 1st and 2nd in the top of the 8th Jonathan Pace was at the plate with no outs when the umpires halted the action due to lightning in the area.
