Georgia State stays alive to reach regional final

ATLANTA, GA – Two runs in the six inning let Georgia State leapfrog over the Hilltoppers of Western Kentucky, 3-2, to earn themselves a spot in the regional final.

Mandy Blackwell was downright unconscious at the dish on Thursday morning. The first baseman was 4-4 with four RBI and represented the winning run in the sixth inning.

Kelsey McGuffin provided most of the offense for Western Kentucky. Going 1-2 at the plate, the centerfielder also tallied both of the Hilltopper’s RBI.
