Carrollton, GA – After the cancellation of Friday's matchup between West Georgia and Valdosta State, there would only be two games to play in this series. West Georgia started off slow but finished strong in the first game beating the Blazers 7-3. The Wolves started their scoring too late in the second game, as they ran out of time and took the loss 7-5.

In game one, #Chase Riemer# got the start for the Wolves against the top team in the Gulf South Conference standings. Riemer pitched eight solid innings, giving up nine hits and only three earned runs while striking out three. Riemer helped himself out on the mound a few times today making some great defensive plays and keeping a few Blazers off the bases.

#Max Aeschilmann# pitched the ninth inning for the Wolves, striking out two of the four batters he faced and inducing a fly-out to end the game and shut down the Blazers.

#Andy Marinelli# got his first start today since injuring his wrist while diving for a foul ball early this season. Marinelli was 1-for-3 in the opener and knocked in two runners. First baseman #Adam Whitlock# was 2-for-5 during the first game and drove in a runner as well. Other Wolves with hits today were #Stuart Drew#, #Brett Wright#, #Evan Hester#, and #Tanner Drennan#.

Game 2
In game two, #Cody Skinner# got the start for the Wolves. Skinner did not last long, only going two innings, giving up five hits and three earned runs. #Alex Wilson# relieved Skinner and spent two innings on the mound allowing only one hit. #Randal Wright# entered the game to pitch for Wilson in the top of the fifth and pitched only a third of an inning giving up three hits and two earned runs. Aeschilmann made his second appearance of the day and would close out the game on the mound for the Wolves.

The Wolves didn't score their first run until the fourth inning of this seven-inning contest on a #Marquise Vialet# single to centerfield. Going into the bottom of the seventh, the Wolves were down 7-1. They would make this game much closer by scoring four runs on three hits and a walk. Three of the four runs came off a Marinelli bomb to left field to make the score 7-5. This would be as close as the Wolves would get though.

Other Wolves who contributed offensively were #Galen Smith# with his three-hit and one RBI performance and #Garrett May# with his 2-for-4 and one run performance. #Brett Wright#, #Tanner Drennan#, #Jayke Graham#, and #Keith Borger# also had hits on the day.

The Saturday split puts the Wolves at 18-16 overall and 9-8 in the Gulf South Conference. UWG will pick back up next week with home games against Miles, GCSU, and a doubleheader against Paine on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
