OXFORD — After leading most of the game, the Wallace Govs had to come from behind to beat the Coastal Alabama Sun Chiefs in their second game of the ACCC Baseball Tournament on Saturday night.
Going into the bottom of the eighth inning, the Govs trailed 5-4 after blowing a three-run lead. But the Govs scored three runs in the bottom of the inning to take a 7-5 win.
The Sun Chiefs got one of the runs back in the top of the third, but thanks to an RBI double by Pierce in the fifth inning, the Govs were able to regain their three-run lead, 4-1. With the base loaded, Cole English came in and walked the first batter he faced to force in a run. Luke Swan grounded out to second base, but another run scored.
The Govs wasted no time in striking back. Gio Ferraro led off the bottom of the eighth with a triple to right field. Ethan Kavanagh followed that with an RBI double to left field, tying the game. After a ground out and a walk to Zane Faulk, Jake Killingsworth came to the plate.
