Baseball Falls in Rubber Match to Delta State

MONTGOMERY, Ala. – The Auburn Montgomery baseball team dropped the third and decisive game of their Gulf South Conference series 15-5 to the Statesmen of Delta State University on Monday, April 12 from Q.V. Lowe Field.
 
With the loss, AUM's record falls to 15-14 overall and 13-14 in GSC play. Delta State improves to 18-11 overall and 15-11 in league action.
 
Casey Henderson led AUM with three hits on the day while driving in one and scoring once. The senior infielder extended his current on-base streak to 21 consecutive games.
 
Sage Smelley drove in a season-high three runs on two hits in the setback, including a two-RBI double. 
 
Joseph Hartsfield accounted for a pair of hits with a run scored and an RBI while Corey Armstrong added a run and a hit. 
 
Micah Henderson (5-3) struck out three batters over five innings of work, allowing seven earned runs on eight hits on the way to just his third loss of the season. 
 
Sam Steigert, Logan Coleman, Jax Morris, Will Collins, and Shelton Clevenger combined to toss the final four frames for AUM out of the bullpen. 
 
The Statesmen jumped on AUM early with five runs over their first two at-bats, highlighted by a grand slam by Jake Barlow in the first inning. The Warhawks would answer back though in the second inning with RBI knocks from Smelley and Hartsfield to trim their deficit to just 5-2. 
 
Both teams brought across runs in the fifth, with DSU getting a pair on an RBI fielder's choice and an RBI double and AUM scoring once on an RBI single from C. Henderson to make it a 7-3 game. 
 
The Statesmen would then go on to put the game out of reach with a two-run seventh and a four-run eighth to go up 13-3. DSU used a two-run homer in the seventh and a pair of two-RBI doubles in the eighth to account for the damage. 
 
AUM would go on to tally a pair in the bottom of the eighth via Smelley's two-RBI double to make it 13-5, but Delta State would answer back with a pair of runs in the top of the ninth before giving way to the 15-5 final score. 
 
The AUM baseball team will return to action on Friday, April 16 for game one of their three-game GSC set at Mississippi College. First pitch from Clinton, Miss. is set for 6:00 p.m.
