Rogers' ninth-inning homer gives Young Harris 6-5 win

YOUNG HARRIS, Ga. – Trey Rogers' two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth gave Young Harris College a 6-5 Peach Belt Conference baseball victory over Georgia College Saturday (April 20) afternoon at Zell B. Miller Field.

The Mountain Lions improved to 20-19 overall and to 8-16 in the Peach Belt while the Bobcats dropped their fifth game and fell to 25-15 and 12-10. The two teams wrap up the weekend series with a 1 p.m. doubleheader Sunday (April 21).

After the Bobcats rallied to take a 5-4 lead in the top of the eighth inning on three unearned runs against reliever Cody Beck, the Mountain Lions put together a two-out rally in their final at bat against Georgia College reliever Jordan Brooks (2-2).Brooks got Tom Valichka to strike out and pinch hitter Zeke Gribble to ground out before he hit Mike Medori with a pitch. Medori then stole second before Rogers, who went 2-for-5, hit a 2-2 pitch over the left field fence for his seventh long ball of the season.

Georgia College, which left 17 runners on base, took an early 2-0 lead in the first on Taylor Hinshaw's single to center field. Young Harris got a run back on a ground out by Dom Wyshinski, who went 4-for-4 in the bottom half of the inning. Young Harris tied the game at 2 on Wyshinksi's homer – his fourth - to right-center field.

The Mountain Lions added single runs in the fifth and sixth to open a 4-2 advantage. Spencer Thomas, who started the fifth with a single, scored on a wild pitch, while senior Zach Bricknell, who was recognized prior to the game on Senior Day, added a RBI single to left in the sixth.

James Mills (3-3) earned the win with 1.1 innings of scoreless relief.
