Pacers Win Series Closer

AMERICUS, Ga. – The University of South Carolina Aiken baseball team picked up a come-from-behind victory Sunday afternoon at Georgia Southwestern, winning 4-3.

The Pacers are now 9-6 on the season and 3-6 in league play.

Head coach Kenny Thomas' team was led by Jackson Hannon and Jeff Cyr who had three and two hits respectively. Cyr also had an RBI while Hannon picked up a run. Luke Leisenring, Jacob Boyd, Leo Horacio and Trey Polewski also managed one hit apiece.

After weathering a relatively quiet eight innings, with the Hurricanes only grabbing three runs, the Pacers struck back in the ninth. Hannon got things started with a single over to third and headed to second a batter later when Leisenring slapped a single out to right field. After Boyd was hit by a pitch to fill the bags, Scott Huntley drew a walk to bring in Hannon. Leisenring rushed across home the very next batter on a wild pitch while Boyd and Huntley moved up a base each. They didn't stay there for long though, as both moved forward on Horacio's ground out and then Cyr smacked a double to left to bring Huntley across home and make it 4-3 for the Pacers.

For the game, Daniel Lee threw the first four innings, striking out four. Daniel Wiggins came in for three and two-thirds innings of relief, striking out one of his own. Austin Hohm, Blake Seigler and William Ard combined to finish out the last two innings.

The Pacers return to action at home versus Queens on Wednesday, March 4 at 6 p.m. Live stats and video will be available at PacerSports.com.
