The Park University Gilbert baseball team dropped a doubleheader against Benedictine Mesa this afternoon in Tempe, Ariz. The Bucs held the lead in both games before a multi-run seventh inning by the Redhawks doomed them in both games. A four-run seventh turned a 6-3 lead into a 7-6 deficit and the Bucs would go on to lose game 1. In game two, a six-run - seventh erased a 7-5 leaf and the Bucs would go on to lose 11-8.
