Panthers trail 10-1, win

Chase Raffield’s walkoff home run capped Georgia State’s rally from a 10-1 deficit to a 12-10 victory over Old Dominion on Saturday in Atlanta.

Down 10-1 heading into the bottom of the sixth inning, the Panthers scored two runs, then added two in the seventh, three in the eighth and four in the ninth, with help from two homers from Nic Wilson.

Wilson’s second homer came with one out in the bottom of the ninth and pulled the Panthers within a run at 10-9. Greg Bowder then walked, reached second on a passed ball and scored on a single after a wild throw from the shortstop to bring up Raffield.

The victory was the fourth in a row for the Panthers (13-6, 4-1 CAA). They finish their series against Old Dominion (98, 2-3) today.
