Junior righty Connor Darling (Suwanee, Georgia) nabbed a win in his first outing this season, spinning the first six innings and allowing three runs, fanning five. Lefty Bryce Bowen (Bowman, Georgia) threw the seventh and eighth with no hits and four strikeouts, turning it over to Mendlinger for a scoreless ninth.

In game two the Bobcats jumped out early, scoring in the first three innings for an 8-0 lead. GC got home runs from Cal Gentry (Perry, Georgia), Matt White (Lakeland, Georgia) and Hunter Hice (Adairsville, Georgia) in game two.
