Reed’s game-ending single completes the sweep for the Saints

ST. AUGUSTINE – Dillon Reed's single to center with the bases loaded in the 10th inning ended the game as Flagler College defeated No. 19 (Collegiate Baseball Newspaper Division II Top 30) Columbus State University 6-5 in a Peach Belt Conference baseball game Sunday afternoon at Drysdale Field.

Flagler improved to 19-17 overall and 13-8 in the Peach Belt. The series sweep was the second one of the season. The Saints swept Lander University earlier in the year. Columbus State dropped to 20-11 overall and 8-7 in conference play.

Frankie Martello led off the bottom for the 10th inning for the Saints with a single to right field. Two batters later, he advanced to second on Jimmy Peck's single to left. Cougar reliever Devin Dudal threw a pitch in the dirt that allowed both runners to move up a base. Columbus State brought the infield in and Elliott Schubert hit a sharp ground ball to shortstop Kendall Ford. He was able to keep the ball close to him, but could not get a grip on the grounder, and the bases were loaded.

Dudal struck out the next batter and Reed came to bat. The Saints lead-off hitter hit a 1-1 flare into shallow center that dropped in front of Garrett Kirkwood and Martello scored the game-winning run.

Flagler tied the game at 5-all in the bottom of the sixth when Reed's single up the middle scored Justin Neo from second base.

Ryan Ashworth (5-2) tossed four scoreless innings in relief to record the win. He allowed one hit and struck out four batters. He retired 12-of-the-13 batters he faced.


Aaron Anderson went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored, and one run batted in. Peck finished 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI. Neo collected two singles and stole a base.

Dudal (3-1) surrendered two unearned runs on five hits in 5 1/3 innings of relief work. He fanned seven batters.

Robert Brooks went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored while Grant Berry hit two doubles and scored a run for the Cougars.

Flagler College hosts Saint Leo University on Tuesday (April 2) at 6 p.m. at Drysdale Field.
