LIVINGSTON, Ala. – West Alabama swept West Georgia in a double header at Tartt Field on Saturday. The Tigers came from behind to win game one 3-2 in the 10^th inning. They controlled the entirety of game two to win 4-0.

“I thought our bench really set the intensity for us today,” said UWA head coach Gary Rundles.

“We swung the bats well enough in the first game, but it was all about pitching. There first guy pitched really well and I thought Bratton did an excellent job. Ivey did a great job coming in and cleaning up in game one. In the second game Bolleter pitched all zeros the whole game. You just have to tip your hat to the pitching.”

West Alabama, now on a six game win streak, moves to No. 1 in the Gulf South Conference with a 5-0 record; 10-11 overall. West Georgia falls now falls to 14-6 overall; 3-2 in the conference. The Tigers sit just above UAH (18-3; 4-0) in the conference standings.
