Georgia Southern pitcher Kyle Rowe watches from the mount as Furman's Chris Ohmstede heads home after hitting a two-run shot to go up 5-3 in the 11th inning Saturday at J.I. Clements Stadium
Chris Ohmstede blasted a two-run home run in the top of the 11th inning, and the Furman Paladins held off Georgia Southern with a 5-3 win Saturday at J.I. Clements Stadium. The Paladins led until the bottom of the ninth when GSU plated two runs to tie the game, but never trailed in the contest. "I thought we were going to win the game until we gave up that two-run home run, but we still kept fighting," said GSU's Scooter Williams, who entered the game as a pinch hitter but had two of the Eagles' six hits.
