SANFORD — The Scotland Fighting Scots baseball team dropped its fourth consecutive game Wednesday night in a 3-1 decision at Lee County.

Lee County’s Landon Miles had one hit with two RBIs; Walker McDuffie had an RBI and Joshua Hall had two hits.

Blane McDonald earned the win on the hill, allowing one hit with three strikeouts and a walk across four innings.

Scotland’s Kaden Hunsucker had one hit and an RBI, and Dawson Williams had a double.

Robbie Peed pitched three innings and suffered the loss for Scotland.

Scotland and Lee County finish their season series with a second game on Friday at McCoy Field in Laurinburg.
