ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – Host Flagler scored six unanswered runs to post a 6-1 Peach Belt Conference win over the No. 23 University of North Georgia baseball team on Saturday afternoon at FC's Drysdale Field.
The Nighthawks drew first blood on a
Conner Corbitt homer in the top of the second, but the Saints would answer with six runs fueled by a four-run third inning. All four of Flagler's hits in the inning were singles.
Flagler added a pair of runs in the eighth, one on a triple and the other on a wild pitch.
Cody Collett (0-1) took the loss on the hill for the Nighthawks. He tossed 3 and two thirds innings and surrendered six hits as well as four runs.
Logan Burt finished the game on the hill for North Georgia.
NOTES
- North Georgia falls to 4-7 overall and 0-2 in league play while Flagler improves to 11-2 overall and remains a perfect 5-0 in Peach Belt contests.
- The Nighthawk offense was only able to muster a pair of hits against Flagler starter Ryan Ashworth.
Crews Taylor's double was the only other blemish on Ashworth's line as the FC pitcher faced only two batters over the minimum in the complete game win.
The two teams finish the three-game series tomorrow at noon.
