Tigers, Warhawks Split GSC Doubleheader

LIVINGSTON, Ala. – After winning the first game 5-1, West Alabama let a four-run lead get away in the nightcap to come away with a split of a  Gulf South Conference doubleheader against Auburn-Montgomery Friday at Tartt Field. AUM won the nightcap, 5-4.
 
UWA is 5-3 after the split. AUM is 6-4. Both are 1-1 in GSC play.
 
Four Tiger pitchers combined to allow just three hits and one run as UWA won the opener. Cole Waites (1-0) gave up just one hit and one run while striking out 11 to earn the game one victory. Kirby Osborn, Nathan Nicolosi and Corey Kelley worked 3.2 innings of scoreless relief. Starter Troy Jones (1-1) took the AUM loss.
 
West Alabama scored two runs on four hits in the fifth inning of the opener. Jaylon Keys and Austin Moffett both drove in a run on infield singles. A two-RBI double from Taylor Clemmons highlighted a three-run sixth. Clemmons scored the third run on a wild pitch.
 
With a four-run outburst in the first inning of game two it looked as if West Alabama might be on its way to a sweep, but the Tigers wouldn't score again and AUM picked up a run in the third inning and took the lead with four unearned runs in the sixth to claim the win.
 
A two-out, full-count double by pinch hitter Sage Smelley cleared loaded bases to tie the game in the sixth. Smelley then scored the game winner on Quinterrious Arrington's only hit in the twinbill, a single to centerfield.
 
Warhawk reliever Keegan Fairley (1-0) picked up the win the in second game, allowing just one hit and no runs over three innings. Tiger starter Tanner Elders (2-1) was the hard-luck loser, with only one of five runs allowed being earned while walking two and striking out 11.
 
Clemmons had three hits in the doubleheader for West Alabama, while Ryan Hughes and Trevor Smeeton each had two in game two.
 
Matthew Zielonko picked up two hits in the nightcap for AUM. The Warhawks had just three hits in the opener.
