JACKSON, NJ (April 4, 2026) - Georgian Court Baseball finished up their three-game set with Goldey-Beacom Saturday afternoon. After a pair of one-run games Saturday, the Lightning broke out for a 13-3 win in seven innings.
How it Happened
• Georgian Court put lots of runners on base. Not only did GBC knock nine hits, they drew 11 walks and GCU pitchers hit seven batters.
• While all that was happening on defense, the Lion offense mustered just three hits to score three runs.
• Goldey-Beacom also had a field day on the bases, stealing six bags.
•
Evan Corso struggled staying in the strike zone in the second inning. Two hit-by-pitches and a walk loaded the bases with one out. The first run scored on a marathon, 14-pitch at bat that ended in an RBI walk.
• GBC knocked consecutive RBI singles and led 4-0.

Jackson Cooper left the bases loaded as Frankie Noveillo reeled in a deep fly ball to the warning track in center.
• Georgian Court got a run in the bottom of the fourth. Noviello did the work himself drawing a leadoff walk, moving to second on a balk and scoring from second on a long fly ball to right where the right fielder made a running catch against the fence.
• Goldey-Beacom got the run back in the top of the fifth scoring on a wild pitch to make it 7-1 Lightning.
•
Arian Lunar drove in a run in the bottom of the sixth to bring GCU back to within five, 7-2.
