ATLANTA — The Berry College baseball team scored three runs in the ninth inning on Monday afternoon, defeating the Emory University Eagles 6-3 for the team's 10th win of the year.

Berry now sits at 10-5 while the Eagles dropped to 11-3. 

Milan Sutaria earned his second win of the year in relief, tossing 1.2 innings allowing one hit and a run. Mason Carnes collected his second save, retiring the Eagles' hitters in the bottom of the ninth. 

The Eagles went ahead in the third inning 2-0 after back-to-back RBI singles. Berry tied the game in the sixth after an Evan Rome leadoff triple, a Zack Walch single and a Tyler Calvert groundout. The Eagles threatened with one out and the bases loaded in the seventh inning, but Calvert caught a ball in foul territory before making a remarkable throw back home to Sutaria to tag the runner coming home for the double play.

Calvert added another RBI in the eighth inning to put Berry on top 3-2, but the Eagles tied the game in the home half of the inning on a sacrifice fly. In the ninth, John D'Amelio singled to left before coming home on an Evan Romeo double. Dalton Smith then drove in Romeo with an RBI single and, after being intentionally walked, Walch scored on an error to put Berry up by three. Carnes then retired the Eagles in order to secure the save. 

Berry continues conference play on Saturday at Millsaps.
