NEWBERRY, SC – The Newberry Wolves used a five-run outburst across the sixth and seventh innings to secure a 5-2 comeback victory over USC Aiken on Tuesday night at the Smith Road Complex?.

Newberry was held scoreless through five innings before breaking through in the sixth with three runs, highlighted by  clutch RBI hits from Wilson Wages, Cooper Gentry, and Luke White. The Wolves added two more insurance runs in the seventh to take control of the game. Gentry went 3-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI, while Chandler Mims had a key pinch-hit single and came around to score.

On the mound, Hunter French got the start, tossing three innings of just one run and a strikeout. Wyatt Carey shut the door in relief, going strong for four innings, earning the win with a game closing strikeout.
