Georgetown College survived a 16 inning contest with an 8-6 win over Campbellsville University in the Mid-South Conference Tournament on Friday and advances to Saturday's round as the only undefeated team left in the double-elimination championship.

Campbellsville struck first with a run in the bottom of the second on a Jason Beale single that scored Lee Darracott, who reached on a double. Georgetown found an offensive groove in the fifth inning, scoring five runs on singles by Austin Sparks, Jake Mahan, Colin Wilkerson, Bryan Bonner, Jason Frilling and a Josh Franklin double to take the lead for the first time in the game.

Campbellsville scored one in the bottom of the seventh, followed by a three-run eighth inning to tie it up at five and then the marathon began. The teams both scored a run in the tenth inning and continued scoreless until the top of the 16th when Georgetown's Chase Armstrong singled to centerfield and was then moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Mahan before a Bonner double scored Armstrong. The junior catcher, Frilling, then singled to leftfield to score Bonner and put the pressure on Campbellsville.

Campbellsville out hit Georgetown 20 to 14 on the night. Georgetown's Carson Jones got the win as the reliever, pitching three innings, while Brian Edelen took the loss, pitching the last four innings.

Ironically, should Campbellsville get past Pikeville College in Saturday's 11:00 a.m. matchup, the Tigers would face Georgetown in the 6:00 p.m. nightcap with the winner advancing to the finals of the tournament to be played at the winner's home field later in the week.
