CLINTON, S.C. - Bud Jeter (3-6) went seven strong innings and Gabe Grammer picked up his seventh save of the season as Presbyterian (17-21, 5-8) held off Charleston Southern (15-26, 6-7), 2-1, on Friday afternoon at PC Baseball Complex.

Jeter allowed just one run (earned) on four hits in his start for PC. CSU starter Ryan Gunther (0-7) matched him with a quality start of his own that went seven innings, giving up seven hits and two runs (both earned). Gunther struck out two and did not issue a walk.

CSU freshman Robbie Streett had two of CSU's four safeties on the day, extending his hitting streak to nine games.

Presbyterian went up, 1-0, on Kenny Bryant's eighth homerun of the season to lead off the bottom of the second inning.

Both starting pitchers would put up zeroes until the Bucs struck in the fifth. Chase Shelton led off the inning with a single down the line in right field and stole second. Walt Quattlebaum's double inside the bag at third scored Shelton with the tying run.

The tie would be broken in the bottom of the sixth, which started with back-to-back singles from Billy Motroni and Brad Zebedis, putting runners on first and third with no outs. Gunther then coaxed Bryant into a 6-4-3 double play but it was enough to score Motroni from third, giving the Blue Hose the eventual winning run.

Denis Buckley threw a perfect eighth inning of relief for CSU.

Reliever Chad Sanders retired the three batters he faced in the eighth for Presbyterian, and Grammar retired the side in order in the ninth.

The two teams will square off in game two of the series on Saturday at 2:00 p.m. at PC Baseball Complex.
