MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga.—A trip to Georgia has been no getaway for Barry baseball and their troubles continued Saturday as they fell to Georgia College in a doubleheader, 12-11 and 13-5.
The first game was a shootout as the two teams combined for 23 runs and 25 hits. The Bucs held the lead through the middle of the 7

Greg Brodzinski led the Bucs with three RBI.
Starting pitcher
Luis Deville struck out four in 4.2 IP while
Andy Rohloff got his first loss on the year in 3.1 IP.
In the second game, the Bucs got out to an early lead off a
JC Cardenas RBI single but lost it and the game after Georgia College scored nine runs before the Bucs could respond and the lead proved too much.
