Jaguars upset Pirates on the road 12-11 - Covington, GA

Chattahoochee Valley's seven game winning streak came to an end today at the hands of Georgia Perimeter College in a high scoring affair at the Jag's new facility in Covington, GA. CV attacked GPC right of the bat with three runs in the first inning and followed with one run innings in both the third and fourth to jump out to a 5-1 lead. The Jags were able to capitalize on a critical Pirate error in their half of the fourth however, and they were able to tie the score at five apiece. The CV bats weren't quite finished, as Min Ho Kim bashed his sixth homer of the season through gale force winds, and the Pirates pushed five more runs across the fifth. The Jags answered back with two runs in the bottom half of the inning, but CV still held a solid lead going into the seventh inning. With none out and a runner on first base, the Jags popped up to first baseman Min Ho Kim, who pulled in the ball. On the play, the runner at first drifted off of the bag as Kim made the catch and stepped on first base, but the field umpire claimed he could not see the play and awarded first base to the runner. On the following play, a would be double was again thwarted by a non call that kept the inning alive for the hosting GPC team. Taking full advantage, the Jaguars put together five hits and piled five run, one earned, on to their total to take a 12-10 lead. The Pirates scored one in the eighth to get within one run of the lead. Tristan Farrell led off the ninth with a walk and was sacrificed to second base by a pinch hitting Kyle Maley, but that would be as close as he would get to scoring the tying run as neither Alex Montes or Alex Fuller could drive him home.

On the day, the Pirates managed eleven hits, including two each from Alex Duhaime, Logan Foster, and David Buchanan. Min Ho Kim and Alex Montes each had three RBI's on the afternoon to lead the Pirate offense. Tyler Moffitt(ND 4IP 7H, 5K) gave a solid performance but was the victim of shaky defense as CV made four errors in the game. Marc Nellist(L .2IP 5H) took the loss.

The defeat was the Pirates' first in their last eight games and brings their overall tally to 9-3 on the year. The Pirates will travel to Enterprise, AL on Friday for their first conference series against the Boll Weevils of Enterprise-Ozark Community College.
