Stallions defeat Tigers 6-3
The ABAC Stallions defeated the SGC Tigers 6-3 in
non-conference action Wednesday afternoon in Tifton.
The Tigers scored one in the second and two in the third to take a 3-2 lead.
ABAC tied the game in the fifth and then plated three runs in the seventh to
pull ahead for good. Reliever Justin Fordham (1-2, 7.79) took the loss. He
surrendered two earned runs in 1 1/3 innings of work.
The only Tiger with more than one hit was outfielder Austin Palmer. He was 2
for 4 with an RBI and a run scored. First baseman Evan Plys hit his first
home run of the season in the second inning, a solo shot to left.
SGC finishes the season this weekend with a three-game set against Young
Harris in the north Georgia mountains. The Tigers, who are 24-27 overall and
7-14 in conference, are guaranteed a spot in the first round of the
playoffs. They will play on the road when the postseason begins, but where
exactly they will play remains undetermined.
