Five-Run Fourth, Lefty Relievers Push GC Baseball over West Georgia, 11-6

Box Score

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Georgia College Baseball team moved to 4-0 Tuesday, coming from behind to beat the University of West Georgia (2-2) 11-6 at John Kurtz Field.

Down 4-3 in the third, the Bobcats got a two-run shot from Paul Grazzini (Marietta) and then exploded for five runs in the fourth to take over.  

GC used a pair of lefty relievers to silence the Wolves, setting up the comeback. Junior Bryce Bowen (Elberton) entered in the third, finishing off that inning and spinning two other hitless frames to get the win (1-0). He walked one and fanned two.

Sophomore Aidan McAllister (Suwanee) buzzed through the next three innings, scattering two hits and a walk to keep UWG from mounting any offense.

Grazzini was an offensive standout, ripping a home run and a double, scoring three times and driving in three as well. The round-tripper was his first as a Bobcat. Rightfielder Jay Saunders (Moultrie) went 3-for-3 with two RBIs and three runs. Third baseman Noah Mendlinger (Alpharetta) and shortstop Cassius Young (Atlanta) each had two hits, Mendlinger driving in two and Young scoring once.  The Bobcats finished with 11 runs on 14 hits, getting hits from each of the nine slots in the order.

GC Baseball moves to 4-0 for the second-straight season.

The Bobcats are back in action Friday, Feb. 7 at 6 p.m., traveling to Augusta University.
