MASON, Ohio - The Trevecca Nazarene University baseball team lost a pair of Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC) tournament games on Friday, ending their run at the G-MAC Championships and their season.

The Pioneers scored the games lone run in the top of the ninth on a squeeze play and held the Trojans for a 1-0 win.
