HARTSVILLE, S.C. --- The Tusculum University baseball team rallied from behind twice as the Pioneers won 5-3 Sunday afternoon at Coker University in South Atlantic Conference action at Tom J. New Field.

With the victory, Tusculum (14-9, 4-5 SAC) completes the weekend sweep of the Cobras (8-14, 2-7 SAC) and moves from the bottom of the league to tied for fifth in the SAC standings.

Trailing early 2-0, Tusculum Jaden Steagall tied the game with his two-run homer in the second inning. Coker retook the lead in the third on a Phillip Grif solo home run. But the Pioneers plated two runs in the fourth inning as Jake Wapinsky tied the game with his one-out double, while Bryson Ford's sacrifice fly drove in Trey Hinton with the eventual game-winning run. TU tacked on an insurance run in the eighth on Fuzzy Furr's one-out double.
