SCORING INNINGS
TOP 3rd | PC 1 - GS 0 | A leadoff walk in the third came back to bite the Eagles in the third, coming around to score on a single to the gap in left after small ball moved the runner into scoring position.
TOP 4th | PC 4 - GS 0 | Four straight hits to start the fourth welcomed relief pitcher Braxton Johns to the game and plate a pair of runs. A sacrifice fly later in the frame would score a third, but Johns would not make it out of the inning despite notching a strikeout.
TOP 5th | PC 5 - GS 0 | The Blue Hose pulled some chicanery in the fifth inning after back-to-back singles put runners on the corners with two outs. The runner from first broke to second, drawing a throw, but got hung up long enough for the run to score from third and push the lead to 5-0.
BOT 5th | PC 5 - GS 1 | Georgia Southern answered in the fifth, moving Steven Curry around after a walk with one out. Tyler Martin drove in the run with a ground ball to the right side of the infield and cutting the lead to 5-1.
BOT 6th | PC 5 - GS 2 | A leadoff walk and an error by the Blue Hose in the sixth inning opened the door for Noah Swan to score and whittle another run off of the Blue Hose advantage.
BOT 8th | PC 5 - GS 10 | Georgia Southern matched its biggest inning of the season, scoring eight runs as the Blue Hose pitching imploded. The Eagles got things going when Austin Thompson reached on an error by the right fielder. Blake Evans drove in a run with a single down the line and Matt Anderson was able to get around to third on the play, setting up Steven Curry to drive in two and tie the game. Four walks and a wild pitch conspired to score two more, setting up Noah Ledford to clear the bases and push the lead to 10-5. Ultimately 10-straight batters reached in the inning for the Eagles who sent a season-high 13 batters to the plate.
