AUGUSTA, Ga. – The GRU Augusta Jaguars went down 2-0 off a home run in the first inning of the single non-conference game for the Newberry Wolves to take a 10-2 final on Tuesday afternoon at Jaguar Field.

In a game that saw 42 players enter, The Jaguars (13-22) let Newberry College (19-18) take a 2-0 lead in the first inning after the second batter, Ryan Cranmer, of the game hit a homerun. In the bottom of the second inning, Ryan Stack lined one to left field and made it to first base allowing Ross Miles to make to second. With the bases loaded in the bottom of the second inning, Reydel Gonzalez ended the inning to keep it a 2-0 score. The wolves pulled off three runs in the top of the fourth.

The Wolves started the day with lefty Austin Walker on the mound, but went to Mike DeLee in the bottom of the second inning. Newberry went on to unload nine pitchers from the bullpen. The Jags loaded the bases in the second off DeLee, but a strikeout and fly ball left the bases with the Jags trailing 2-0.

Jags slinger David Bermudez came in for Dalton Reed for the Wolves to load the bases in the top of the fourth. Two walks and Jermale Paige's two-RBI single built the Newberry lead to 4-0. GRU inserted Tristan Jones on the mound in the middle of the fourth and Newberry plated two more runs after a bases-loaded, close-call wild pitch and a successful squeeze bunt from Kosch.

Drew Towery gave up the shut-out win for the Wolves in the fourth off an RBI-double to Bradley Dennis for a 6-1 game. Jags lefty Phil Dukes relieved Jones in the seventh inning. Dukes pitched the Wolves into back-to-back groundballs, but an infield error at first base put a runner on. Cranmer knocked a double in the right-center gap to score an unearned run. A left-field line single plated one more Wolf for an 8-1 advantage.

The Jaguars came up to bat looking at an eight-run deficit with two errors and five hits in the bottom of the ninth for the Wolves to take a 10-2 final. Reed (1-0) took the loss after giving up two in the first inning, while DeLee (1-1) got the win in his one inning pitched.

Rice went 2-for-5 with an RBI and Ross Miles and Bryson Stack each had a hit while showing off their outfield defense with Miles snagging a few layout grabs and Stack hosing a man at second.

The Jaguars travel to St. Augustine, Fla., for a Peach Belt Conference doubleheader this Saturday at 1:00 p.m. with the Flagler Saints.
