The Bear's came out on top to open the 2018 season behind the bats of Austin Bishop and Andrew Fogarty, who combined to accumulate 7 of the Bear's 13 hits. Andrew Fogarty's received his 1st HR of the season. The Bears found themselves in a hole going into the latter part of the game as Toccoa put up a 5 spot in the top of the 5th inning. Despite the Eagle's strong efforts, the Bears found a way to piece together a 7 run inning in the bottom of the 9th inning. This included a walk-off single through the four-hole by the aforementioned Austin Bishop.

The Bear's sent four pitchers to the bump in today's contest. Hayden Carey began his Senior Campaign throwing 5.0 innings, including 4 strikeouts and only 2 walks. Freshmen, Craig Barton and Jacob Johns, threw the 6th through the 8th only giving up 2 runs. Gregory Elder Jr. came in late in the stretch and held the Eagle's at bay in the 9th with 3 electric strike outs.

The Bears will take the field again against Hiwassee on Friday in Cleveland. First pitch is slated for 2 p.m.
