Walk-off home run in the 10th Moore than enough for Saints

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – Jason Moore hit his second three-run home run of the game at the most opportune time as it came in the 10th inning and gave Flagler College an 11-9 victory over Georgia College in a Peach Belt Conference baseball game Saturday afternoon at Drysdale Field.

Flagler improved to 11-3 overall and 2-0 in the Peach Belt. Georgia College fell to 7-4 overall and 0-2 in conference play.

Jake Hathaway led off the bottom of the 10th with a line drive single to center and Ethan Crout drew a walk to chase Georgia College reliever Colin LoCutro (0-1) from the game. Trevor Guthrie entered for the Bobcats and his 2-2 pitch to Moore was belted over the left field wall to end the game. The Saints trailed going into the inning 9-8.

There were two big innings for each team before we got to extra innings. The two teams combined for six runs in the first and seven more in the seventh.

Brandon Benson hit a two-run home run for the Bobcats in the first, but in the home half, Cole Ondrejka hit a bases clearing doubles to give the Saints a 4-2 lead.

Flagler led 5-4 going into the top of the seventh when Brandon Purcell capped the scoring for Georgia College with a two-run homer and the Bobcats grabbed an 8-5 lead. Moore hit his first three-run shot in the bottom of the seventh to tie the game.

The Bobcats took a one-run lead in the top of the 10th after Wesley Wommack led off the inning with a double to right-center and then moved to third on a sacrifice bunt. He scored on a sacrifice fly.

Luke Cooksey (1-0) tossed three innings in relief to earn the win. He scattered three hits, allowed one run and walked two. Dustin Dye started and went a strong five innings. He allowed six hits and four runs, but fanned a pair of batters. Dante Pagano, MacLain Larson and Nick Martinez all came out of the pen.

Hathaway led Flagler's 15-hit barrage with three singles and three runs scored. Four more Saints had two hits apiece. Moore was one of those players and he tallied seven runs batted in, which is tied for third-most in the program's history.

LoCurto, Georgia College's fourth pitcher of the day, tossed 2 1/3 innings, surrendered four hits and two runs. He walked five, but two of those were intentional. Kane Keith started, but lasted 2 1/3 innings. He allowed five hits, five runs and walked two batters. Bradley Spinner and Perry Keith also saw time on the hill.

Clayton Ayres collected three singles, scored a run and drove in another. Purcell hit a pair of two run home runs.

Both teams will meet on Sunday at noon in the rubber game of the three-game series.
