Panthers Fall on Walk-Off Homer in 11th

MONROE, LA -- Georgia State fell at ULM 5-3 on a walk-off home run in the 11th inning in the opening game of their Sun Belt Conference series at Warhawk Field.

ULM (7-12-1, 2-1-1 SBC) tied the game with an unearned run in the seventh and then won it on Travis Washburn's 2-run homer in the 11th.

Georgia State (14-8, 3-1 SBC) freshman Caleb Stewart homered for the second straight game with an opposite field, solo shot in the fifth inning, and Luke Boynton delivered RBI-doubles in the first and sixth innings.

GSU starter Brandon Kaminer, the super senior left-hander, pitched 6.2 innings--his career-long outing--and allowed three two runs on three hits with five strikeouts. After giving up two runs and three hits in the first inning, he retired 18 of the next 20 hitters before ULM managed to score in the seventh without getting a hit. Two of the three hits he gave up were bunt singles.

Ryan Watson followed with 2.1 scoreless innings. In the bottom of the ninth, ULM put the go-ahead run at third base with one out, but Watson ended the threat with back-to-back strikeouts. Chad Treadway struck out two in a scoreless 10th.

Catcher Kyle Hilton had two hits and threw out three runners on the basepath.

Game 2 of the series is scheduled for Saturday at 3 p.m. ET on ESPN+.
