Albany State had a strong pitching performance from Aaron Ginn to take a 5-0 shutout win over the Columbus State University baseball team at the Golden Rams Field on Tuesday. 
After smacking a double in the second at-bat of the game, the Cougars (5-2) would then make 23 consecutive plate appearances before recording their next hit with two outs in the eighth. The cougars then collected two singles in the eighth with two outs, but a strikeout would strand them both to continue to preserve the ASU shutout.
