Winthrop nearly came all the way back from a 10-run deficit in the ninth inning but would fall to USC Upstate in the second game of a three-game home series with the Spartans on Saturday night by a final score of 13-10. Winthrop moves to 12-16-1 overall and 4-4 in the Big South.
Grant Sherrod homered to right field on the third play of the game to put the visiting Spartans ahead 1-0. Winthrop loaded the bases with two outs in the first inning but couldn’t capitalize.
