No. 2 Carrollton Tops No. 23 Wesleyan in Walk-Off Fashion
March 9, 2021
Carrollton, GA - A Power-25 matchup took place in Carrollton Monday as the No. 2 Trojans hosted the No. 23 Wesleyan Wolves in a game that did not disappoint. Seven innings were not enough for these two teams, as Carrollton edged the Wolves in walk-off fashion in the bottom of the tenth inning, 4-2.
Two lefties took the mound to start the game for both teams. 2021 South Alabama recruit, Eli Runyan, got the ball for Carrollton and Uncommitted 2021, Jimmy Cox, for the Wolves. Runyan battled throughout the outing, showing a fastball around the zone at 81-84, while mixing in a breaking ball at 72.
The Carrollton Trojans struck first, thanks to a big two-run homerun from 2021 C Georgia recruit, Bear Madliak, giving his team a 2-0 lead in the first inning.
Wesleyan answered in the third inning as Uncommitted 2022 Nate Kerpics leadoff the inning with a single. From there, the Wolves added two more runners, and 2021 CIF Kentucky recruit, James McCoy, worked a bases-loaded walk to bring home the Wolves' first run of the game. After a misplay by the Trojans outfield, the Wolves were able to bring home the tying run in the same inning. That would be the last either team would score for the next seven innings, as both bullpen arms were outstanding on the night.‘21 #Georgia recruit, Bear Madliak (@BGmadliak), gives the Trojans an early lead with a 2R ? in the bottom of the first inning.#PBRBombSquad @1trojanbaseball @NathanRode pic.twitter.com/lkWMNvmjrL
