MONTGOMERY, Ala. – The Auburn Montgomery baseball team picked up their third win in their first four games of the 2019 season on Tuesday, Feb. 5 with a 3-2 midweek victory over Miles College from the AUM Baseball Complex. 
 
NOTES
- AUM improves to 3-1 on the year with the win.
- Tuesday's meeting with Miles College marked for the inaugural contest between the two, with AUM taking the all-time series advantage at 1-0.
-  The Warhawks did not commit a single error in the game, while having committed just one error over their last three games. 

STANDOUT PERFORMERS
- Jonathan Brandt and Kyle Khoury both logged a team-high two hits on the afternoon, with Brandt also contributing for a run scored and a run batted in.
- Grayson Blackwell and Casey Henderson both accounted for a hit, a run, and an RBI in the win. 
- Todd Burkett (1-0) faced just two over the minimum over five innings of work, en route to his first victory of the 2019 season. Burkett struck out three batters, while handing out just one free pass via a hit batsman. 
- Micah Henderson (1) picked up his first career save for the orange and black, tossing the final two innings of the game and allowing just one hit and one free pass. 
- Aaron Hill made his debut on the mound for AUM, tossing two innings and allowing two earned. 
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
- After a lackadaisical first couple of innings from both teams, AUM was finally able to crack the scoreboard in the third inning. The Warhawks loaded the bases with one out, courtesy of a fielding error by Miles, a single from Khoury and a walk by Arrington. Henderson would drive in Blackwell one batter later on a groundout to third for the game's first run.
- The Warhawks would go on to add another run in their next at-bat in the fourth, on an RBI infield hit from Blackwell to second base that plated Brandt. A Brandt single and stolen base, followed by Sage Smelly reaching base via another Miles fielding error, helped set up the run-scoring opportunity. 
- AUM added their third and final run of the game their next time up in the fifth, on an RBI single to left field from Brandt. A single by Henderson, a passed ball and a fielding error by Miles that allowed Cobb to get on base, paved the way for AUM to cash in for an unearned run.
- The Golden Bears would finally get on the scoreboard in the seventh inning, courtesy of a two-run shot by Brandon Conner to left field with two outs. 
- Miles got their first two batters of the eighth inning on base, but Henderson would eventually settle in to finish the inning unscathed, and would work a 1-2-3 ninth inning to lock down the win for AUM.
