Georgia Beats Phoenix, 7-6
Georgia designated hitter Nick Castellanos played a vital role in his team's 7-6 conquest of Phoenix. He was 2-3 with 2 singles and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for Georgia. Georgia pitcher Nestor Cortes got the win. He's now 2-0. Kyle Freeland was tagged with the loss. The loss makes Phoenix 15-14.

With Georgia leading 4-3 in the bottom of the fifth, Castellanos hit a run-scoring single off Phoenix hurler Ryan Bergert. It was the 20th hit of the season for Castellanos and put his team ahead, 5-3.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Phoenix manager Pat McGoldrick. "But we decided not to take it."
