Robinson's previous best outing was against Davis & Elkins when he allowed two runs (one earned) over seven innings versus the Senators April 8.

SERIES REWIND
The Mountain Lions swept a doubleheader at Glenville State last season before the return games in Athens were washed out and not made up on the final day of the regular season in 2023. In an 11-4 game one win, junior utility
MJ Hunter and Saryeldin were both 2-for-3 with a double. Hunter drove in two runs while Saryeldin added an RBI. Neff tossed six innings as he struck out four and allowed three runs. In the 5-1 nightcap victory, junior pitcher
Rylee Nicholas was sharp as he struck out a career-best 10 GSU hitters and allowed a run on three hits over six innings. Sophomore utility
Dawson Gragg provided a spark in the top of the eighth with a go-ahead grand slam which was also the first home run of his career.
