Rams Sweep Series With Spring Hill As They Improve To 11-1

MOBILE, Ala. – The UM baseball team (11-1) defeated Spring Hill College 4-1 and 4-3 Saturday afternoon at home to sweep their cross-town rivals as they opened up conference play.

Second baseman Bryan Mosely went 3-of-3 at the plate in the first game while Jesse Luker gave up just three hits while striking out six in a complete game for the Rams as unranked Mobile cruised to a 4-1 win. Mobile scored two runs in the bottom of the second inning which would be all they needed.

In the nightcap, it was a stolen home plate by shortstop Eddie Davila in the bottom of the sixth that stole the Badgers hopes of picking up a win against Mobile as the Rams won 4-3. Davila was 3-of-3 at the plate and scored two runs for the Rams as they now get ready to host NAIA 34th ranked Faulkner University in a double-header on Tuesday, Feb. 22, at 12 noon.

Simon Badeaux picked up the win as he gave the Rams six strong innings, surrendering three runs on four hits while striking out six. Chris Copeland earned a save with a strong no-hit top of the seventh.
