Elian Merejo homered and five Georgia State pitchers combined for 13 strikeouts as the Panthers knocked off No. 2-ranked Vanderbilt 4-2 Friday at Hawkins Field, the highest ranked team that GSU has ever defeated.
The baseball team's victory also equals the highest-ranked win for any Georgia State team in any sport. The softball and men's soccer teams have also knocked off a No. 2 team.
"It was an unbelievably competitive game," head coach Brad Stromdahl said. "Tip of the cap to our guys for getting it done. It shows that we can compete with anyone in the country, but we have to get back to work tomorrow.
