COLUMBUS – In a battled of ranked teams, the 11th-ranked Columbus State University baseball team picked up a 9-4 victory over No. 21 Flagler on Thursday night. The Peach Belt Conference contest was played at Burger King Stadium at Ragsdale Field.

Columbus State (25-5, 9-3 PBC) pounded out a pair of home runs in its 16-hit night to win its third game in as many days.

"We had a great approach at the plate tonight," head coach Greg Appleton said. "We showed some discipline and they made some mistakes and we put some good swings on them."

The Cougars got the first of three inning-ending double plays to shut down a Flagler rally in the top of the first, and it was CSU that would jump on the board first with four runs in the second.

Frank Wager and Robert Brooks each singled to start the Cougar half of the second. Grant Berry followed with a single of his own to bring Wager home for the game's first run. Austin Pharr then crushed his seventh long ball of the season, a three-run shot, to extend the lead out to four.

Berry was back in on the action in the third inning, lining a ball over the left fielder's head and up against the wall that allowed Mason McCllean to touch the plate.

Following a one-out single by Chase Brown in the fourth, Drew Webb hit a towering fly ball that cleared the wall in left for his second home run of the season and making it a 7-0 game.

Flagler (24-9, 14-5) put a run on the board in the sixth and three more in the seventh, but Kolton Ingram induced double plays to work out of both innings and keep the Cougars in front. Ingram (7-1) allowed four runs on eight hits over seven innings of work.

Jalen Latta worked a perfect eighth inning and Justin Evans shut the door in the ninth to secure the win.

All nine Cougar starters had at least one hit on the night with nine different players scoring a run. Berry and Brown led the way with 3-for-4 nights for both.

Columbus State and Flagler will play game two of the series on Friday evening, with first pitch scheduled for 5 p.m.
