Arnold's Seventh-Inning Homer Gives Baseball 3-2 Win Over Southern Wesleyan

DAHLONEGA - With two outs in the bottom of the seventh, freshman Jake Arnold hit a no-doubter over the left-center wall, his second of the year, giving the University of North Georgia baseball team a 3-2 win over Southern Wesleyan Wednesday afternoon at Bob Stein Stadium.

The Warriors took the lead in the top of the first, scoring a run off a Trey Matthews RBI double. SWU scored again in the second inning when John Garrett singled with the bases loaded to stretch the lead to 2-0.

North Georgia cut the lead in half in the third inning. A leadoff double for Crews Taylor, followed by an Arnold single and a Tomlinson sacrifice fly put the Nighthawks on the board. UNG tied the game up in the fourth, using a leadoff walk by Conner Corbitt and a sacrifice fly by Nick Clarno to tie the game at 2-2. Arnold's seventh-inning homer with two outs gave the Nighthawks the one-run advantage that ended up as the final score.

NOTES
- Jack Fleming (2-0) was credited with the win after his 0.2 innings of relief. Logan Burt threw five innings of relief, scattering two hits and striking out four Warriors. Parker Morrison earned his second save of the year, throwing two innings of shutout baseball, his longest outing of the season.

- Arnold finished 2-for-3 at the plate. He was the only Nighthawk to have a multi-hit game.

- The Nighthawks have now won six straight over the Warriors, extending the all-time record to 29-2 in favor of UNG.
