DAHLONEGA, Ga. | Taylor Campbell drove in five runs as Georgia College defeated Young Harris College 6-2 in an elimination game of the 2016 NCAA Division II Southeast Regional Tournament Friday (May 6) afternoon at Haines and Carolyn Hill Stadium on the campus of the University of North Georgia.
 
Young Harris, which was the eighth seed in the tournament, ended its most successful season at 32-20. The 32 wins are the most in a season in the NCAA era and the program earned its first-ever NCAA postseason berth.
 
The Bobcats, who are the No. 5 seed, improved to 40-17 and will face No. 4 seed Catawba College, which lost to top seed North Georgia 1-0 earlier in the day, in another elimination game Friday (May 6).
 
The Bobcats opened up a 1-0 lead in the second off YHC starter Jeanie Perrucci (5-11) on three consecutive one-out singles. Caroline Snider and Holland Coursey reached on hits before Campbell knocked in Snider on her single to center field.
 
Georgia College broke the game open an inning later as they scored five times – four on a grand slam by Campbell that hugged the left field fair pole – to take a 6-0 lead. It was her nine long ball of the 2016 campaign.
 
Young Harris got two runs back in its half of the fourth. Hannah Harrison started the rally with a single to right and came around on Grace Botti's laser line drive home run over the left field wall.  It was Botti's fourth homer of the season.
 
Carly Lewis (21-9) earned the complete-game victory for the Bobcats, surrendering five hits. Murphy Davis, Georgia Webb and Chandler Stooksbury also collected hits for the Mountain Lions.
