Saint Leo, Fl  - The Augusta baseball team picked up their first win of the year as they won the opening game of Saturday's doubleheader with Saint Leo University 9-4. The Lions would respond in game two with a walk-off 8-7 win. The Jaguars are now 1-3 after the opening weekend of play.

GAME ONE

Wyatt Talik had a pair of hits and three runs scored while Parker Ingram drove in three in the opener on Saturday. Nolan Turner, who had a big series started the scoring in the first inning after Ingram plated him on a sacrifice fly.

The Jaguars would then explode for four runs in the second. Talik singled home Ty McClintock for a 2-0 lead. Jake Vachon, who also had two hits, would pick up an RBI on a bases loaded walk. Ingram would then deliver a two run single putting AU up 5-0. 

Saint Leo made it interesting as it was 6-4 Augusta when the Jags Roland Chance would crush a three-run homer for the winning margin. 

Garrett Wright picked up the win on the mound with five innings of two-hit ball. Chandler Deblois closed things out with a scoreless ninth. 

GAME TWO

Game two started out very similar to the opener as Turner would hit his second homer of the season in the 3rd. The Jags would plate a second run in the frame on a wild pitch. 

AU added three runs in the fourth with two runs scoring on a fielding error. Ingram would drive in Vachon for the third run of the frame and a 5-0 lead.

The Lions would score two in the bottom of the fourth cutting the lead to 5-2, but Augusta responded with an Ingram RBI single. 

Saint Leo tallied three in the 8th to tie it, but Augusta would regain the lead in the top of the 9th on a Mike Morrison RBI single. Morrison had two hits in the game. 

But the Lions would again rally and walk it off with two runs in the 9th for the victory and doubleheader split.

Nolan Turner had a monster series for Augusta going 8 for 14, with two homers and eight runs scored. Vachon had six hits in the series with three runs driven in.

Luke R. Barch went six innings on the mound. He gave up just four hits while striking out five.
