Tigers Swept at Valdosta State

VALDOSTA, Ga. – Valdosta State used a walk-off walk to win game one and then cruised to a game two victory in a Gulf South Conference baseball doubleheader sweep of West Alabama Sunday at Billy Grant Field. The Blazers won the first game, 7-6, and then took the nightcap, 19-4.
 
Valdosta State improved to 16-12 overall, 14-11 in GSC play with the sweep, snapping a six-game losing skid. West Alabama is now 11-13 overall and 9-12 in GSC play.
 
West Alabama took a 6-4 lead into the bottom of the ninth inning in game one, but Valdosta State rallied for three runs on three hits and a pair of walks to score the walk-off win. Logan Stephens drew the bases-loaded base on balls to score Jowenrick Daantji for the game-winning run.
 
Valdosta State used 14 hits, nine walks and five hit batters to cruise to the win in the nightcap. The Blazers 19 runs are the most scored against West Alabama in nine years. Montevallo put up 20 on the Tigers in a 20-10 win on Feb. 29 , 2012. 
 
VSU jumped to an 8-0 lead after three innings in the second game before UWA answered with three runs in the top of the fifth. The Blazers quelled any thought of a comeback by adding four more in the fifth and seven runs in the sixth to secure the mercy-rule win. 
 
Valdosta State sent 22 batters to the plate over the fifth and sixth innings in game two, scoring 11 runs with two outs over those two frames.
 
Reliever Zach Henderson (3-2) allowed just one hit and no earned runs over 1.2 innings to pick up the win in game one. VSU starter Elijah Gill did not get a decision, but struck out 12 in seven-plus innings of work. Tiger reliever JP Elkins (1-2) allowed two hits and was charged with three earned runs in two-thirds of an inning to absorb the loss.
 
Blazer starter Tristan Cone (4-3) allowed seven hits and four earned runs in 5.2 innings of work to get the win in the second game. Tiger starter Peyton Warren (0-3) took the loss, giving up 10 hits and eight runs in three innings.
 
Brayden Lyman collected five hits in the doubleheader to lead the UWA attack. Lyman has 11 hits in his last 15 at bats over four games. Jake Nemith had three hits, including his third homer of the year in the opener.
 
Nick Lewis collected six hits and drove in five runs in the two games for Valdosta State. Three of Lewis' hits were doubles, giving him 13 on the season. Ben Rowdon added four hits. Daantji had six RBI in the two games, hitting his second home run of the year in game two. Stephens had five RBI on four hits.
