GEORGETOWN, Texas - Austin College came back from a two-run deficit to take a 4-3 victory over Southwestern University on day one of the 2013 SCAC Baseball Championship tournament. Box Score | Tournament Website 

With the score knotted at 3-3 in the bottom of the ninth, the 'Roos loaded the bases via two walks and a hit batter before a throwing error from the Southwestern third baseman on a sharply hit grounder by Mason Leech plated the game's winning run.

The fourth-seeded 'Roos (12-27), who will play top-seed Centenary College at 3:30 p.m. tomorrow, got seven strong innings from sophomore right-hander Marshall Korn, although he didn't factor into the decision. Junior right-hander Colt Herron improved to 3-1 and picked up the win in relief.

Austin Vaughan and Travis Gibson each had a double and two hits for Austin College and Tyler Appelquist also had two hits. 

Jeff Glasgow was 3-for-3 for Southwestern as the senior had three of his team's four hits.

Nino Titino (0-3) was tagged with the loss for the Pirates.

Southwestern (3-37) falls to the consolation bracket and will play at 7 p.m. tomorrow evening against the loser of Trinity University and University of Dallas, which is Friday's first game with first pitch scheduled at Noon.
