Falcons drop Sunday and series to West Georgia

CARROLLTON, Ga - The Falcons dropped the rubber match to the West Georgia Wolves, 11-1 in seven innings Sunday afternoon. 

The Wolves scored first with a solo homerun by Jermond Williams in the bottom of the second. Williams gave the Falcons trouble all weekend, collecting seven hits and six RBI in the three-game series. 

Junior right fielder Riley Cain led off the fourth inning with his second homerun of the weekend, tying the game at 1-1. Cain now leads the Falcons with three homeruns on the season. 

Senior starting pitcher Gus Cunningham worked himself into and out of trouble successfully all afternoon and carried the 1-1 tie into the fifth inning. The bottom of the fifth proved to be the turning point in the ballgame though, as the Wolves scored three runs off Cunningham (0-1) and reliever Joel Cheatwood,via four singles and two walks. 

West Georgia (9-4) added a run in the sixth and six more in the seventh to induce the shortened game. 

Freshman Asa Awbrey had a nice homecoming to Carrollton, collecting four hits, a triple, a stolen base and a run scored on the weekend. 

With Awbrey, senior Sebastian Samuels had one hit on the day.
