KODAK, Tenn. - For the second straight night, Newberry defeated a top 15 team to stay alive in the South Atlantic Conference Baseball Championship, defeating #11 Tusculum 18-11.  

The Pioneers got on the board first with three runs in the bottom half of the first inning. The Wolves responded with six runs in the top of the second to take the lead. Colin Allman led off the inning with a bunt single and then advanced to second on a wild pitch. A single through the left side by Nick Butler moved Allman to third, and he would score on a failed pickoff attempt to put Newberry on the board. A walk to Ian Clements and a bunt single from Zane Tarrance would then load the bases for Newberry. Butler then scored on a passed ball to make it a 3-2 game. After Dalton Lansdowne drew a walk, Zachary Bailes lifted a sacrifice fly to right field, scoring Clements and tying the game at three. Luke Orr then singled to right field, scoring two runs, and Allmand would pick up his second hit of the inning, scoring Orr to make it 6-3.  

Leading 6-4 in the top of the third, Orr would rip a two-run double to make it a four-run game. The Wolves busted the game open in the top of the seventh, scoring five runs and making it a 14-6 game. Newberry added four more runs in the ninth as they held on for their second straight win in the Championship.  

Orr was 4-6 with two doubles and career-highs in runs (four) and RBIs (seven). Jack Harris finished the game 2-6 with a home run and two RBIs, while Tarrance was 2-3 with three runs scored and one RBI. Bryce Peterson (5-0) picked up the win allowing three runs on five hits and striking out six in four and one-thirds innings of relief.
