Rams and Badgers meet in season ending series

MOBILE, Ala. -- The University of Mobile (19-24, 14-13) will travel across town this coming weekend when they square off against rival Spring Hill College (17-34, 6-21) in both teams final regular season series.

Mobile is currently in second place in the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference standings, 2.5 games behind second place Louisiana State University-Shreveport after loosing two of three last weekend to conference leader William Carey College.

When the series begins tomorrow, Friday, April 30, Mobile will be looking for a season sweep of Spring Hill after taking all three games of the first series back in March.

In the first game played at Hank Aaron Stadium, the Rams scored six runs in the final three innings to win the opener 6-3.  John Price went 7.2 innings allowing three runs (one earned) on eight hits in picking up the win.

After playing the opener at “The Hank”, the series shifted to the University of Mobile campus where the Rams swept a doubleheader the very next day.

The Rams scored three runs in the bottom of the second inning and got a complete game win from pitcher Danny Aroyo as Mobile took game two 3-2.

In the finale, the Rams jumped all over Spring Hill pitching by scoring 13 runs in the first three innings and taking game three 13-3 in a mercy rule-shortened five inning game.

In order for the Rams to finish in second place, they must win all three against the Badgers and hope Belhaven can do the same against Louisiana State University-Shreveport. 

The Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Tournament will be played Wednesday, May 5 – Saturday, May 8 in Hattiesburg, Miss.
