Baseball Remains Undefeated in the OneSpartanburg, Inc. Baseball Classic Behind Late-Inning Victories over Boston College and George Mason

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Facing two games as the OneSpartanburg, Inc. Baseball Classic continued Saturday afternoon, USC Upstate baseball picked up two wins in the late innings to improve to 6-1 on the season, defeating Boston College 6-2 and George Mason 2-1 Saturday at Cleveland S. Harley Park.
 
It was pitching that was the star of the day for the Spartans as six Upstate pitchers combined to allow three runs over 18.0 innings of work with the group combining to permit a .197 opponent's batting average while collecting 18 strikeouts.
 
At the plate, redshirt sophomore leftfielder Noah Rabon was 5-for-6 on the afternoon, including delivering the walk-off against George Mason. Tallying the Spartans' lone multi-RBI game of the day, senior first baseman Devin Buckner drove in three of Upstate's six runs in the eighth inning versus Boston College, homering to left to cap the inning.
