The Georgia Gwinnett College baseball team committed five errors in dropping a 5-4 contest in 10 innings to No. 15-ranked Middle Georgia State University Tuesday evening from the Grizzly Baseball Complex.

GGC (25-5) led 4-1 after the fourth inning, but the visitors clipped away with a single run in the sixth inning and tied the game in the eighth inning following a pair of passed balls.

Middle Georgia State (25-11) took its first lead of the night on a run-scoring single inside the right field line by Luke Parks in the top of the 10th inning. The base hit with two outs brought home Mikal Flores, who had reached base on GGC's fifth error of the game.

Tuesday's game ended the season's three-game series played between the two colleges. The Grizzlies took two games in Cochran, Ga., last weekend.

Turning Point

Middle Georgia State University got the leadoff batter on base in the 10th inning on Georgia Gwinnett College's fifth error of the game. Then, with two outs the visitors got a seeing-eye single down the right field line to score the game-winning run.
