Trailing Gatewood 7-2 going into the bottom of the seventh on their home field on St. Simons Island, the Knights proceeded to score five runs to take the first game in the best-of-3 series. The game was actually tied 2-2 entering the seventh. Gatewood struck for four runs in the top of the inning before the Knights came back in the bottom of the frame. "Without a doubt, we were definitely fortunate to win," said FA coach Steve Trawick. "However, our guys showed a lot of character. To come back and win speaks volumes." Zach Hicks belted a two-run single with the bases loaded to tie the game 6-6. Tanner Rogers then drew a walk to load the bases again before Blake Cohen walked to bring in the winning run.

Then, sending a comforting signal to any Dawg baseball aficionado, he adds, "Athens is a great place to be, especially in the fall." That statement confirms that Beckham is a passionate Georgia football fan and that he is enjoying the college experience to its fullest. A perceptive young man, he understands and appreciates that you can be a college student only once in your life.
