Mocs Dominate Game Two With 11-2 Victory Over Canes

LAKELAND, Fla. – The Florida Southern College baseball team dominated Georgia Southwestern State University in game two with an 11-2 win on Saturday afternoon at Henley Field.
 
The Moccasins (4-1) climbed to an early 5-2 lead in the second inning and continued to rack on runs to win by nine. The Hurricanes (4-2) struggled defensively as the Mocs capitalized on mistakes to go down by two games in the series.
 
Mikey Scott had an incredible day for the Mocs, going 3-for-3 with two RBI and three runs. He also batted the first home run of the season for FSC, a two-run shot in the sixth. Jevin Relaford had one hit and four runs in the game with another three stolen bases, bringing his season total to nine in 2025. Other Moccasins with hits included Ahmad Fitts, who entered as a sub in left field, Noah Rabin, and Rohsean Riley. FSC drew 10 walks on the day, had three HBP, and scored on two wild pitches.
 
Brandon Jung had the start and went four innings, allowing six hits and two earned runs. He finished with three strikeouts and three walks in his 18 batters faced. He was relieved by Ty Bradle who went three innings, gave up three hits, and had no runs scored to get credit for the win. Jordan Fox threw the final two innings, striking out one, with no hits and no walks.
 
The Hurricanes were led in batting by Cory Lee with two hits and another seven batters with a single hit in the game. Paul Hegeman and Matthew Manual had the only runs for GSW, both off RBI groundouts. GSW had seven pitchers in the game, with Jonathan Bautista given the loss in his five runs scored in 1.2 innings pitched.
 
Florida Southern echoed last night's early success with two runs in the bottom of the first inning. After a leadoff walk by Relaford, he was sent home off a sacrifice fly by Thoroman, followed by an RBI groundout by Cory Filley, which brought Scott home for the 2-0 lead. However, the Canes were quick to respond with two runs off three hits to tie the game in the top of the second inning.
 
Balks and hits by Riley and Relaford led to another three runs added by FSC to retake the lead, 5-2, through two. In the bottom fourth inning, the Mocs had back-to-back RBI from a fielder's choice to extend their lead to five, 7-2. Next was another scoreless frame in the fifth before a big two-run homer by Scott in the bottom sixth for a 9-2 lead. Florida Southern then added solo runs in the seventh and eighth inning to finish with an 11-2 game-two win.
 
The Mocs will wrap up their series against the Canes tomorrow, Feb. 9, with a 1 p.m. first pitch at Henley Field.
