Rio Grande Sports Information
    ATHENS, Tenn. – After earning a split – and nearly collecting a sweep – of No. 15 Bryan College on Friday afternoon, the University of Rio Grande had hopes of doing the same to 12th-ranked Tennessee Wesleyan on Saturday.
    The Bulldogs were thinking otherwise, though.
    The hosts built big leads in both games and rolled to a doubleheader sweep of the RedStorm, winning 11-5 and 8-0 in non-conference action at Athens Insurance Stadium's Jack Bowling Field.
    Tennessee Wesleyan, the preseason favorite in the Appalachian Athletic Conference, was playing its season-opening games.
    Rio Grande fell to 4-3 as a result of the losses.
