Baseball Upsets No. 17 West Georgia in 10-Inning Thriller

DAHLONEGA - After ten innings, the University of North Georgia baseball team upset the No. 17 West Georgia, 14-13, with a two-RBI walkoff single from freshman Cade Heil Wednesday night at Bob Stein Stadium.

UNG had a tough first inning against the Wolves, who scored three runs off two hits and an error from the Nighthawk defense. UNG responded with three hits and four runs scored and forced three errors on the UWG defense. Both teams went back-and-forth the remainder of the game.

Nighthawk bats came alive in the fourth with a double off the wall from William Mapes. North Georgia was able to load the bases for Conner Corbitt, whose base-clearing double reclaimed the lead for UNG, 8-7. A RBI triple from Bill LeRoy extended the lead to 9-7 to end the frame.

West Georgia reclaimed the lead in the sixth with a RBI single to center from Brady Barnes, but LeRoy stepped up again to deliver a two-RBI single to tie the game at 12-12 in the seventh. After both teams failed to score before the end of the ninth, the Wolves pulled away once again in the tenth with a RBI single to right from Cade Marlowe, making the score 13-12.

In the final frame, Steven Tomlinson responded with a stand-up double for the Nighthawks to lead things off. After Nick Clarno drew a walk and both he and Tomlinson advanced on a wild pitch, Heil walked the game off with a rope to right field to clinch the UNG victory.

NOTES
- Perez went 3-for-4 with two singles, a homerun, two RBI and four runs scored. Bill LeRoy went 3-for-5 with two singles, a triple and three RBI. Conner Corbitt went 1-for-3 with a double and four RBI.

- Five UNG and eight UWG pitchers saw action on the mound. Parker Morrison earned the win, while Dalton Reagin was issued with the loss.

- With a season high of 27 combined runs, 26 hits and nine errors made in the contest, this was the longest game of the season at a duration of 4:19.
