On Tuesday, Shelton State faced off against Gaston College in hopes of redeeming itself. Unfortunately for the Bucs, the Rhinos kicked off the first half of the game with a seven-run lead. In the bottom of the fifth inning, Shelton State finally got on the board with three runs. The efforts from the Bucs were not enough to win the game however, as Gaston College won 13-6.
