MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – A six-run first inning set the tone for the game as Georgia College & State University Baseball (12-12) beat Southern Wesleyan University (11-16) 15-1 Tuesday at John Kurtz Field.

The Bobcats got some help and a long fly in the six-run first. A bases-loaded hit batsman followed by a walk scored the first two runs. After a groundout plated run three, catcher Trey Ham (Perry) blasted the first home run of his Bobcat career to left, a three-run shot.

GCSU continued to pour it on, scoring in every inning except the eighth.
