Thomas leads Flagler 18-hit attack in 11-6 win

FLORENCE, S.C. – Flagler College had a season-best 18 hits and Ashton Thomas led the way with four in an 11-6 victory over Francis Marion University in a Peach Belt Conference baseball game Friday night at Sparrow Stadium.

Flagler improved to 7-17 overall and 6-12 in the Peach Belt. Francis Marion fell to 11-10 overall and 9-10 in conference play.

Trailing 5-0 going into the top of the sixth inning, the Saints scored 10 runs, four in the sixth and six in the seventh to rally past the Patriots.

Donovan Garcia hit a two-run home run in the sixth to bring Flagler to within a run, 5-4.

In the seventh, the Saints took advantage of a Patriot error and scored six unearned runs. With one out, Myles Colangelo and Thomas hit back-to-back singles and Jaiden Warde loaded the bases when he reached on a fielding error by the Francis Marion center fielder. Chase Carney was hit by a pitch to tie the game and a sacrifice fly by Garcia gave the Saints the lead. Jake Kaufman and Adam Mitchell each hit two-run singles to increase Flagler's lead to 10-6.
