Baseball Rallies for 6-4 Win at Kennesaw State

Atlanta Challenge
Bradley 6, at Kennesaw State 4

KENNESAW, Ga. - Luke Mangieri's first home run of the year gave Bradley the lead in the seventh inning and made a winner of freshman Brooks Gosswein in his college debut as the visiting Braves (2-1) completed the Atlanta Challenge with a 6-4 victory at Kennesaw State (1-3) Sunday at Stillwell Stadium.

A day after rallying to beat Georgia Tech, 10-7, Bradley overcame a 4-run deficit Sunday as a trio of Braves hurlers held Kennesaw State scoreless over the final five innings.

A freshman lefthander, Gosswein (1-0) relieved starter Sam Lund to start the fourth inning and allowed the Owls two runs in his first collegiate inning of relief.
