Georgia College edges past Young Harris in 11 innings

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. | Georgia College scored five runs in the top of the 11th inning to get past Young Harris College 10-6 Friday (May 10) afternoon in Pool A of the 2019 Peach Beach Conference Baseball Tournament being played at Drysdale Field on the Flagler College campus.

The Bobcats improved to 26-19 overall and to 1-0 in Pool A, while the Mountain Lions fell to 32-19 and 0-1. Young Harris will wrap Pool A play Saturday (May 11) with two games at Tindall Field on the campus of St. Johns River State College in Palatka, Florida. Young Harris, which is the No. 4 seed in the tournament, will face No. 8 seed Georgia Southwestern State University, which upset top seed University of North Georgia 4-2 Friday (May 10), at 1:30 p.m. YHC will conclude Pool A play at 8:30 p.m. against its cross-mountain rival North Georgia.

Georgia College had taken a 5-4 lead in the top of the ninth inning on a wild pitch before the Mountain Lions equalized the game at 5 as Cole Jackson led off the bottom half of the inning with a home run - his seventh of the season - to right field. Young Harris had a chance to walk it off later in the inning, but left fielder Shane Connahan took away a potential game-winning homer from Tucker Greer by catching the ball over the wall.

The Bobcats broke the game open with five runs in the 11th inning off reliever McLain Harris (1-1). Austin Holloway broke up the tied game with an RBI single to right field before Wesley Wommack followed with a two-run double to left-center field. Cassius Young closed out the scoring with a two-run homer to left field.

Young Harris got a run back in the bottom of the inning. Tyler Washington led off with a single through the right side and later scored on pinch hitter Tristin Smith's single to left field.

Perry Keith (3-1) earned the win in relief for the Bobcats.

Georgia College took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first before the Mountain Lions tied the game at 1 in their opening at-bats as Zavier Lushington added a RBI double to left-center field. The Bobcats added two runs in the second and another in the third as they opened up a 4-3 lead. Young Harris got within a run after T.J. Byrd smacked a two-run homer - his fifth of 2019 - to left field. The Mountain Lions tied the game at 4 as Lushington drove in Byrd, who stroked a double to left-center field, with a fifth-inning single to left.

Young Harris, which collected 11 hits, got two hits apiece from Byrd, Lushington and Washington.
