Keiser Highlights
  • Tivon Faneyte finished the game going 3-5 including a leadoff double in the ninth that began a three-run rally for the Seahawks.

Turning Point

How it Happened
  • Georgia Gwinnett had the early chance to score when Marcus McCorkle drew the two out walk and then swiped second and third with Jean Figueroa at the plate.
  • Danny Garmendia then punched out Figueroa looking on a 2-2 count to end the scoring threat.
  • Keiser had the chance to take the early lead in the bottom of the first after singles by Gabby Mundo and Tivon Faneyte and a walk by Jack Curtis loaded the bases.
  • Steven Seiter then struck out looking to end the inning on a full count, leaving the bases juiced and the score knotted at 0-0.
  • Georgia Gwinnett took advantage of a double and back-to-back walks in the third inning with a sacrifice fly from McCorkle to give the Grizzlies the 1-0 lead.
  • Garmendia limited the damage in the top of the third, striking out Figueroa looking for the second time, stranding runners on second and third.
  • Keiser nearly tied the contest in the bottom of the third when Faneyte lifted a fly ball to deep center with Mundo on second but Rodney Tennie made a spectacular basket catch to keep the Seahawks off the board, ending the inning.
  • The Grizzlies added to their lead in the top of the fifth inning when Trevor Bradley scored on a wild pitch by Garmendia, sending Deion Sellers to third.
  • Garmendia once again limited the damage after striking out Rodney Tennie and then inducing back-to-back groundouts to first to end the inning.
  • CJ Fitzpatrick opened up the bottom of the seventh with a leadoff single, eventually taking second and third on wild pitches with one out.
  • The Seahawks were unable to bring in the runner from third after a strikeout and groundout ended the bottom half of the seventh.
  • Georgia Gwinnett extended its lead once more in the top of the eighth inning when Josh Black lifted a sacrifice fly to left field, plating McCorkle for the 3-0 advantage.
  • Faneyte started off the bottom of the ninth with a leadoff double to left field for Keiser's first extra base hit of the game, followed by a Jack Curtis walk with no outs to begin the ninth-inning rally.
  • Following a strike out, Carlos Lopez tied the game with one swing of the bat, sending a 2-1 pitch over the right field wall.
  • The Seahawks nearly had the chance for a walk off single by Mundo with runners on first and second, but Bradley made a spectacular diving catch at short to send the game into extra innings.
  • Georgia Gwinnett scored two runs in the top of the 10th inning off a throwing error by Jeremy Graf to give the Grizzlies the 5-3 lead.
  • Bradley came in to pitch in the bottom of the 10th, closing the door on the Seahawks after notching two strikeouts to earn the save.
