CULLOWHEE, N.C. -- Freshman Will Mize drove in the tying run in the eighth inning and then singled home the go-ahead run in the top of the 10th to give Georgia State a 10-9 victory at Western Carolina on a bitterly cold night at Childress Field/Hennon Stadium.
Mize's single through the left side scored Griffin Cheney, who led off the 10th with a walk and moved to third on Josh Smith's single.
After Mize gave GSU (5-3) the lead, sophomore right-hander Joseph Brandon (1-0) retired the Catamounts (5-3) in order to close out the win in a game that was played with temperatures in the 30s, a stiff wind and at times a rain-snow mix.
