After a big win over Little Rock on Thursday, GS defeated Troy Saturday morning to advance to the conference championship game on Sunday.

The game started out with three scoreless innings, until redshirt junior outfielder Tyler Martin made the only score of the game in the fourth, with help from a hit by freshman catcher Christian Avant and a Trojan fielding error.

Junior pitcher Tyler Owens had a near perfect game and led GS to this historic victory. He struck out four and allowed no runs in his six innings of work.
