Dylan Deals; Hurricanes Run Win Streak To 11

AMERICUS - Georgia Southwestern starting pitcher Dylan Brown threw seven scoreless innings and the Hurricanes piled on some late runs to defeat Trinity Baptist College, 9-2, on Tuesday and run their non-conference record to 11-0 this spring.

GSW improved its overall record 12-8, while Trinity Baptist fell to 4-13.

Brown (1-0) walked the first batter of the game, allowed a single to the second hitter, then proceeded to retire 12 in a row. He worked out of a jam in the fifth before retiring the side in order in the sixth.

On the flip side, Aaron Crowe broke up Trinity Baptist's bid for a no-hitter in the fifth inning with a one-out single to right field. Crowe scored two batters later on a Zach Barron single through the left side to put the Hurricanes on top, 1-0.

GSW added a pair of runs in the sixth inning behind a RBI double from Josh Logan and Jared Jones' RBI single. The Hurricanes lead was extended to 6-0 with a three-run seventh.

After Trinity Baptist got two runs back in the eighth inning, Barron belted a two-run double over the left fielder's head in the bottom half of the frame to score Clay Patrick and Evan Alderman. Brett Burgess brought home Barron for the final run of the evening on a sacrifice fly.

Barron was the lone Hurricane batter to finish with multiple hits. He turned in a 2-for-4 performance with three RBIs, a walk and a run scored. Burgess drove in two.  

Brown held TBC to two hits while he was on the mound, walked four and struck out three. Kyle Spinks covered the final two innings, walked one and struck out four.

TBC starter Michael Cohick went 6 2/3 innings, allowed five hits and four earned runs, walked five and struck out six. Dan Richard and Dustin Dykes each threw 2/3 of an inning and had two walks. Richard was tagged for three runs.

The Hurricanes travel to Albany State on Wednesday for a 3 p.m. non-conference tilt with the Golden Rams.
