OXFORD, Ala. – The University of West Georgia baseball team had its season come to a close on Day 2 of the Gulf South Conference Tournament in the wee hours of Sunday, suffering an 11-6 setback to Shorter at Choccolocco Park.

The tournament run ended the careers of four UWG seniors – Dan Oberst, Sawyer Steele, Justin Johnson and Lane Griffith – highlighted by Oberst being named the GSC Player of the Year this spring.

The seventh-seeded Wolves (18-23) took an early 1-0 lead in the first inning after junior center fielder Jason Fointno reached on a leadoff single, stole second and motored to third on a throwing error. Sophomore shortstop Brody Wortham plated the first run of the game with an RBI base knock.

The No. 3 Hawks (27-14) capitalized on defensive miscues from UWG in the top of the third, however, resulting in four runs on two hits and three errors. Following an RBI single from UWG junior third baseman Collin Moore in the home half of the third, Shorter busted the game open in the top of the fourth with five runs on four hits for the 9-2 lead.

Shorter added two more runs in the sixth for an 11-2 margin before Wortham stroked an RBI sacrifice fly in the seventh.

Oberst, the aforementioned GSC Player of the Year, delivered his farewell hurrah with an RBI double in the bottom of the ninth, which was followed by an RBI triple from Wortham.

Oberst (3-for-5, 2B, 2 runs, RBI), Wortham (2-for-3, BB, 3B, run, 3 RBI) and Fointno (2-for-5, SB, 2 runs) delivered multiple-hit efforts for the Wolves in the season finale.
