Cats win game #2, rubber game Sunday


Tyler White slammed a two-run ninth inning double to break open a tie ball game as Western Carolina went on to a 8-5 victory over Furman in Southern Conference baseball action Saturday afternoon at Furman's Latham Stadium.

Saturday's win evened the series 1-1, between Western Carolina and Furman heading into the third and final game of the series on Sunday at 1:00 pm.

The Paladins tried to rally in the bottom of the ninth, putting two runners on and scoring on a ground out to make it 8-5. With the potential tying run at the plate, and with two outs, Preston Hatcher responded by striking out Will Muzika to end the game.

Hatcher picked up the win for the Catamounts, while Ben Carlson was charged with the loss for the Paladins.
