Abbey Baseball Returns Home to Face No. 17 Catawba

BELMONT, N.C. — The Belmont Abbey baseball team returned home to face No. 17 Catawba to begin a busy week of facing ranked opponents Tuesday at Abbey Yard.

Matthew Fattore and Caleb Burr each had two hits for the Abbey while Seth Edgerton went 5.1 innings in his first career start.

Belmont Abbey is now 10-5 after Tuesday's game while Catawba is 11-4.
