The Eagles delivered late-game heroics as Georgia Southern walked off with a win over Presbyterian behind a clutch hit from freshman Demere Gray.

With the game tied late, Gray came through in the biggest moment, lining a walk-off double that brought home the winning run and secured the victory for Georgia Southern. The hit capped a hard-fought battle and provided the Eagles with a dramatic finish.

In the circle, Hannah Worthington (1-0) earned her first career win as an Eagle.

The right-hander delivered a steady performance in relief, tossing two innings while holding Presbyterian in check down the stretch and giving Georgia Southern the opportunity to complete the comeback. Worthington allowed two hits and two runs while issuing two walks, helping keep the game tied until the Eagles' offense broke through in the final at-bat.

Gray's walk-off double sealed the win and highlighted a strong team effort as Georgia Southern secured another victory during the Jacksonville Classic.
