LIVINGSTON, Ala. – West Alabama baseball picked up a 16-5 run-rule victory over Miles College Wednesday afternoon at Tartt Field in the nonconference matchup.

The Tigers trailed by two runs entering the second inning and then Josh Bower hit his ninth home run of the year to right field to start the scoring for West Alabama. The Tigers scored three runs in the second and 11 runs in the third inning and never looked back. 
 
Gavin Rogers and Bower both had two hits on the day, batted in three runs, and scored twice. Brayden Lyman knocked in two runs with two hits, and he was walked twice. Sam Smith batted in his first run of the season in the sixth inning and then scored on a wild pitch for the final UWA run.
