MONTEVALLO, Ala. –  Davis Aiken and Adam Chamblee combined for six hits and seven runs batted in as West Alabama outlasted Montevallo, 17-10, in college baseball action Wednesday at Kermit A. Johnson Field.

The Tigers used five hits, a Falcon error, a hit batter and a walk to spur the big inning. Mitch Holgate, Jack Cockrum and Dylan Little all doubled in runs in the frame. UWA added another in the top of the third to stretch the lead to 8-3.

West Alabama scored two runs in the top of the eighth inning to go up 15-7. An RBI double by Luigi Mendez and a sacrifice fly off the bat of Aiken accounted for the scoring. Montevallo used three West Alabama errors in the bottom of the inning to score three runs and cut the lead to 15-10.
 
Mendez drove in two runs with a singe to left field in the top of the ninth inning to extend the West Alabama lead to the final margin.
