SGC Takes Two of Three from Andrew College

The South Georgia Tigers finally hit their stride over the weekend, taking two out of three conference games from Andrew College at Crider Field. SGC won by scores of 4-2 and 6-3, then lost the final game of the series 10-0.

In game one on Friday, starter Frank Ambrosino (1-6, 4.13) earned his first win with a complete game performance. The Tigers scored one in the first and three in the third, all the while keeping Andrew in check for the entire game. Wesley Morris had three hits for SGC and Jeremy Donaldson drove in two runs.

In Saturday’s double-header, the Tigers used a steady, methodical offensive attack to stay one step ahead of Andrew throughout the game. SGC plated runs in the second, third and fifth, and again benefitted from a solid pitching performance from starter Dylan Wall (3-2, 6.08). Seth Foster and David Reid-Foley had two hits and Morris drove in a pair of runs.

The nightcap turned out a little differently. Andrew turned the tables on SGC and scored runs in bunches to win in convincing fashion. Chad Crook (0-2, 8.35) took the loss. The Tigers managed just three hits in the game – one each by Patrick McGlynn, Kelcey Butts and Reid-Foley.

The Tigers are now 15-19 overall and 3-5 in conference play. SGC traveled to Darton for a single game on March 29. The Tigers face Darton again in a single game at 5 p.m. on Friday, April 1 at Crider Field. On April 2, the two teams play a double-header, also in Douglas, beginning at 2 p.m.
