Key Plays
  • A diving catch to start the bottom of the eighth inning helped limit the Bulldogs output to just two runs.
  • The Terriers scored their two runs in the ninth after a two-out walk and hit by pitch.
 
How it Happened
  • The Terriers got on the board in the sixth inning after a bunt single and blooper to right started the inning. A wild pitch and throwing error allowed the first run to score before Reed Massey hit a sacrifice fly to right to score the second run of the inning.
  • The 'Dogs answered back with a run in the bottom of the inning as Brooks O'Brien walked with one out and was followed by a two-out hit by pitch from Andrew Judkins and a Ryan McCarthy infield single.
  • Ches Goodman followed with a ground ball to third that was misplayed, allowing a run to score.
  • The Citadel came out swinging in the eighth as O'Brien lined a ball into the gap in right center, only to have Colin Davis make an outstanding diving catch.
  • The play didn't stop the 'Dogs as Wesley Lane followed with a base hit through the left side.
  • With two outs, Ryan McCarthy lined a ball over the head of the left fielder for a RBI triple.
  • Goodman followed with a fly ball into shallow left center that fell between three players to give the 'Dogs the 3-2 lead.
  • The ninth inning started with two quick outs before a walk ignited a rally for the Terriers. The walk was followed by a hit by pitch and a double steal.
  • Hudson Byorick gave the Terriers the lead with a base hit up the middle to score two runs.
 
Inside the Box Score
  • Jordan Flanders was impressive in his second start of the week. After holding #9 Georgia scoreless in three innings on Tuesday, Flanders kept Wofford off the board for the first five innings.
  • Flanders would go six innings on Sunday, allowing two runs on four hits and two strikeouts.
  • Zach Taglieri was strong out the bullpen as he did not allow a hit over two shutout innings.
  • Morgan Foulks (0-1) suffered the loss after giving up two runs on one hit in one inning of work.
  • Rasesh Pandya (3-2) allowed one hit over 1.1 innings to pick up the victory.
