HATTIESBURG, Miss. – The William Carey Baseball Team rebounded from a Tuesday afternoon loss to Mississippi College with a 12-3 victory over Bryant & Stratton Wednesday night at Milton Wheeler Field.
 
BSC got a two RBI single in the first but a leadoff homerun by RJ Stinson in the bottom half of the inning would get Carey on the board with Jake Lycette tying the game with a RBI single to left.  Both teams would once again trade runs in the second to keep the game tied.
 
The game would remain tied until the fourth inning when Jerod Williams put the Crusaders ahead for good with a two RBI single to right.  WCU would extend their lead in the fifth behind a two out double by RJ Stinson to score Ty Little and Rigoberto Hernandez.  Williams followed with an RBI single to center to make it 8-3.
 
The Crusaders would put the game away with two runs in the seventh and eighth inning for the final margin.
 
Mason Smith picked up the win in relief, pitching five scoreless innings while allowing only five hits.  RJ Stinson and Jerod Williams led the offense each finishing with four hits and 4 RBIs.
 
Carey is back in action Friday, February 23, as they travel to Cochran, Ga. for a three game conference series against Middle Georgia State.  First pitch is slated for 2:00 pm.
