Gardner-Webb (17-19) struck first in what would prove to be a back-and-forth affair, getting a leadoff double in the first from Daniel Merck and a two-out RBI single from Kurt Fulginiti to get on the board.

Wofford (11-25) wasted little time to rally, as Mac Doyle belted his 15^th home run of the season with one out in the bottom of the first, a three-run shot that put the Terriers in front.

The two teams traded solo home runs in the third, with Jake Watts belting his first career shot over the wall in right to trim Wofford's lead to 3-2. Alex Lee responded with a solo shot himself to left in the bottom half of the inning to give the hosts a 4-2 edge.

Gardner-Webb rallied to take the lead in the top of the sixth, plating four runs on four hits. The 'Dogs also took advantage of a pair of walks and a hit batter in the frame, as Wofford went to the bullpen four times before getting out of a bases loaded jam with GWU in front 6-4. O.J. McFarland and Zeke Blanton had RBI singles in the sixth and Jake Watts took a pitch off the shoulder blade to drive in a run.

Wofford went back in front in the bottom half of the same inning, getting an RBI single from Doyle to trim the lead to 6-5. The Terriers then loaded the bases with no outs, and Neil Robinette coaxed a free pass to tie the game. Reliever Brandon Boling rolled a pair of ground balls to stall the rally, and ended the inning with a shallow fly ball to keep the score tied, 6-6.

Ty Boyles led off the top of the seventh inning with a solo home run to put Gardner-Webb back in front, belting a pitch on a line over the wall in left. Adam McFarland followed with a double and would score on a wild pitch with two outs to put GWU up 8-6. Daniel Merck, who was stealing second on the same play, advanced to third.

Aaron Miller was intentionally walked after that sequence and stole second soon after. The Wofford catcher attempted to pick Merck off of third on Miller's steal, but the ball sailed into left field, allowing both Merck and Miller to score for a 10-6 Gardner-Webb.

The Terriers scored two runs quickly in the bottom of the seventh, as Boling plunked Alex Lee. Kyle Behrendt scorched a ball into right field for an RBI triple and Doyle followed with a laser to left to plate Behrendt and make the score 10-8.

Jeff Howell got the call from the bullpen to retire the side without further damage, and worked through a scoreless eighth as well - ending both frames with strikeouts.

Izokovic then came on for his fourth save of the season, using just 15 pitches to strike out the side and end the game.

Gardner-Webb had 13 hits in the game, with Adam McFarland going 3-for-5 at the plate with two runs scored to lead the offense. Merck (2-for-3, 2B, 2 runs, 2 SB) and O.J. McFarland (2-for-5, RBI, run) also had multiple hits.

Boling (2-1) earned the win, pitching around two runs allowed in an inning of work.

Wofford managed eight hits, with Doyle going 3-for-5 with five RBI on the night to pace that effort.

Rowland (1-2) was saddled with the loss, allowing four runs (one earned) in 1.1 innings of work.

Gardner-Webb travels to Charleston Southern for a three-game series beginning Friday at 2 pm. Wofford will hit the road to take on UNC Greensboro in a three-game set this weekend as well.
