VALDOSTA, GA – The Georgia Southwestern State University baseball team lost the season series to 19th-ranked Valdosta State University by losing 11-3 on Tuesday Night, April 11.

In the bottom of the inning, VSU scored four more runs to move their lead to seven runs, as they led the Canes 9-2.

In the seventh inning, GSW fought back, scoring a run on a Brice Mortillaro RBI single that scored Garrett Bradley.
