Indians win, Indians win, Indians win (game 1)-Baseball


In dramatic fashion after trailing most of the game, the Indians have defeated the Warriors of Middle Georgia with a late 7th inning walk-off home-run.




The Indians would defeat Middle Georgia by a final score of 4-2.

The Indians trailed Middle Georgia 2-1 until the bottom of the 7th inning 2-1, it was then the Indians put on the rally-caps for a come back.
In the bottom of the 7th the Indians were able to get a runner on first and then Cam Louis laid down a bunt that he beat out for a base hit.
Oliver Santos than came up and drove in the tying run to make the score 2-2.
After Louis was picked off 2nd base, sophomore catcher Eddie Barkley (Sumter, SC) hit a 2-run walk-off home-run to win the game for the Indians.
I don't have the information on the Indians winning pitcher at this time. I am sure assistant coach Jeff Wicker will email the details after game 2.

I should be able to update game 2 the rest of the afternoon thanks to USC Salkehatchie Lady Indians softball player Michelle Turner as she has been sending detailed texts of the game.
