SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The Wofford College baseball team wrapped up fall practice with the Black and Gold World Series. The Gold team, led by head coach Todd Interdonato and assistant coach Sam Tinkham, won three of the four games for the series victory.  
 
In the first game, the Gold team earned a 5-1 win. Lawson Hill and John Dempsey each had two hits, with Dempsey hitting a home run and a double. Hill scored two runs and had an RBI. Pitchers Zach Byron and Jake Dippold combined for the win.
 
The Gold team added a 7-2 win in the second game. Josh Vitus threw five shutout innings and Cameron Gill had a two-run single to bust open the scoring.

To close out the week, the Black team won Friday's contest 3-1. Matthew Marchal pitched four innings and did not allow an earned run. Scottie Wallace gave up one hit in two innings of relief. Aaron Thomas had an RBI double and scored a run to lead the offense.
 
"Sam and I were really proud of how our group played throughout the week," said Interdonato. "We thought our guys came in very confident with the right mindset about the series. The defense we were able to play throughout the week we thought was the biggest difference in the outcomes of the games. We had some really good offensive performances as well in Lawson Hill, John Dempsey, Cameron Gill, and Ryan Galanie. The series is always a great way to culminate the fall and we were glad to be on the winning side."
 
Overall during fall practice Ryan Galanie was the top position player and Josh Vitus was the top ranked pitcher.
