No. 24 Baseball Splits Saturday Doubleheader at PBC Tournament

PALATKA, Fla. - The No. 24 University of North Georgia baseball team split its final two games of the Peach Belt Conference Tournament, defeating Georgia College before falling to Young Harris. With the win, Young Harris clinched Pool A and advances to Sunday's championship game.

GAME 1 - UNG 11, GC 5
Georgia College jumped out to a 3-0 lead with a RBI single in each of the first three innings before the Nighthawk bats came alive in the bottom of the third. Bill LeRoy hit a three-run blast to tie the game before a RBI double by Nick Clarno gave UNG the lead for the first time.

The Bobcats responded in the fifth, tying the game on a RBI groundout and retaking the lead in the same inning on a RBI single to make the score 5-4. North Georgia scored the final seven runs of the game, starting in the fifth inning with a Clarno sacrifice fly to tie the game at 5-5.

In the sixth, Chase Sudduth singled through the right side to score the go-ahead run before two eighth inning homers sealed the game. Jake Arnold hit a solo bomb before a grand slam from Brady Eeles put the game away.

Derrick Pickvet (7-4) earned the win, going 6.2 innings and striking out five Bobcats. Parker Morrison earned the save, his ninth of the year.

GAME 2 - YHC 17, UNG 5 (7 inn.)
The Mountain Lions scored first on a sacrifice fly in the home half of the first, but UNG answered in the top of the second with a Conner Corbitt RBI double that scored Josh Profit from first to tie the game.

Young Harris retook the lead in the bottom of the second, scoring on a fielder's choice and an error to take a 3-1 lead before putting up five runs in the third to stretch the lead to 8-1. Crews Taylor cut the lead back to five with a two-run homer in the third, but YHC responded with nine runs in the fourth inning where there were 14 Mountain Lions that batted in the frame.

The Nighthawks cut into the lead in the sixth with a Taylor RBI single and a Sudduth sacrifice fly, but the 10-run rule in the conference tournament would come into effect after the seventh inning, giving YHC the win and the spot in the championship game.

NOTES
- UNG finished Pool A play at 1-2, tied with Georgia College for third place in the pool. Young Harris finished at 2-1, tied with Georgia Southwestern, but advance due to the win over the Hurricanes earlier in the day.

- Sudduth, LeRoy and Arnold each went 3-for-6 in the doubleheader, while Clarno went 3-for-7.
