Carrollton, GA - Racing against time and the weather, the UWG pitching staff was masterful Saturday morning and afternoon against the Tiffin Dragons, leading the Wolves to a 2-0 and 2-1 victory over the visitors from the north.

Wolves Take Game 1 from Dragons

The UWG baseball team won the first game of the Saturday morning doubleheader by a score of 2-0 against the Tiffin Dragons from Ohio. #Cody Skinner# picked up the win today for the Wolves, going six innings and giving up only four hits and no runs. #Jamie Sexton# worked the top of the seventh to earn his first save.

#Evan Hester# lead the Wolves offensively with two hits, an RBI, and a run scored. Other Wolves with hits were #Stuart Drew#, #Bradford Mattox#, #Garrett May#, and #Brett Wright#.

The Wolves defense turned four double plays in the first game to help out Skinner. Three of those were turned in the middle and the other was a strikeout-throw out to end an inning.



Wolves Get Win in 12^th inning

The second game of the doubleheader against the Dragons was supposed to go only seven innings, instead it took five extra innings to decide a victor.

The Wolves finally got their break in the bottom of the 12^th. The bases were loaded with #Galen Smith# on third and #Gabe Herman# at the plate. A routine ground ball was hit to the third baseman, who was already playing in on the grass, and he fielded the ball and made a throw to home. The ball short-hopped the catcher, who bobbled it and as soon as he was about to get control, Smith slid hard into the catcher's lower half and the ball fell free, ending the marathon.

#Alex Wilson# got the win today in relief. This wouldn't have been possible if it was not for the superb pitching by starter #Seth McClure# and reliever #Randall Wright# to only give up one run combined in many innings of work.

The Wolves next game is at Montevallo on February 22 at 2:00 PM. This will be the Wolves first road game of the 2012 season.
