Hurricanes score four in the ninth to rally past the Saints

AMERICUS, Ga. – Caleb Gipson laced a single to left-center to score Drew Reaves to end the game as Georgia Southwestern State University rallied to defeat Flagler College 10-9 in a Peach Belt Conference baseball game Saturday afternoon at Hurricane Stadium.

Georgia Southwestern improved to 20-21 overall and 12-11 in the Peach Belt. Flagler slipped to 26-13 overall and 13-10 in conference play. The two teams finish the series tomorrow at 1 p.m.

The Saints plated seven runs in the fourth inning to grab a 7-3 lead. The Hurricanes got a run back in the home half of the fourth and then added two more in the sixth to pull to within one run, 7-6.

A pair of RBI singles in the ninth, one by George Gilson and the other by Jesse Sullivan gave Flagler a 9-6 lead.

Devon Murphy led off the bottom of the ninth with a solo home run. Samuel Hogue had a pinch-hit RBI single to left to make it a one-run game again, 9-8. Reaves came up to the plate with runners at first and second. He hit a single down the left field line that tied the game at 9-all. Gipson hit a 2-2 pitch to the left-center field gap to end the game. The ball landed just out of the reach of a Flagler outfielder.

Jackson Raper (2-1) picked up the win in relief. He allowed two runs on four hits in three innings of work. Johnny Nutt, the GSW starter, tossed six innings, allowed seven runs, only two of which were earned, and surrendered nine hits.

Murphy led the Hurricanes going 3-for-3 with the home run, two runs scored, and he finished with three runs batted in. Josh McDonald collected three singles and knocked in a pair of runs. Drake Hartman also had three singles, but he scored one run and drove in another.        

Parker Adams (0-1) took the loss for Flagler. He surrendered four runs (two earned) on four hits in one inning of work. Adams was the fourth of five pitchers used by the Saints.

Gilson finished 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, four RBI, and he scored two runs. Payton Palladino went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles and a run scored.
