DANVILLE, Va. -- Drew Evans' single in the bottom of the ninth inning drove in Timmy Coston and Ramel Reynolds and lifted Averett University to a 10-9 come-from-behind win over Ferrum College in the rubber game of the USA South baseball series.

Ferrum led 5-1 in the third inning, but Averett came back to plate a run in the bottem of the frame and two more in the fourth to cut the lead to 5-4. Both teams scored a run in the fifth inning and three more in the sixth inning. Ferrum led 9-8 following scoreless seventh and eighth innings.

Taylor Davis went 4-5 with a solo home run in the third inning for the Cougars (8-4, 6-3 USA South). Adam Duncan went 5-5 with a triple and three runs for the Panthers. Clay Massie had a solo homer in the second inning for Ferrum.
