TALLADEGA, Ala. – The Auburn Montgomery Baseball Team picked up a series sweep over Talladega College with a pair of victories on Sunday, Feb. 20. AUM took game one 6-2 and game two 22-4. 

The wins up the Warhawks' current win streak to eight games and improve their record to 9-4 on the season.
 
GAME ONE
Kasey Clark led AUM at the dish with a two-hit, three-RBI performance. Clark slugged a pair of extra-base hits, including a two-run home run in the second inning.
 
Clayton Phillips logged a team-high three hits while Jackson Ceman and Jackson Murphy each knocked a pair of hits. Ceman also recorded two runs scored and an RBI while Brody Syer added a hit and an RBI.
 
Andrew Cronan (3-1) struck out five batters over 3.2 innings of work to earn the win. Cronan gave up just two runs on six hits while walking none.
 
Mason Elmore allowed just one hit over 1.1 innings while Sam Steigert tossed the final two innings to lock down the win.     
 
AUM took advantage of a pair of hit batsmen and bases on balls to strike first in inning number one, with a Syer bases-loaded walk bringing home the game's first run.
 
The Warhawks piled on four runs in inning number two to go up 5-0, with Clark's two-run blast accounting for the big blow in the frame. Ceman brought in the inning's first run on an RBI single through the left side while a 6-4-3 twin-killing brought in the second run.
 
Talladega College fought back with RBI groundouts in the second and third innings to trim AUM's lead to 5-2, but the Warhawks would get one back in the top of the fourth on a Clark one-out double that plated Ceman. Ceman led off the frame with a single to center, and was moved to second on a sac bunt from Joseph Hartsfield.
 
GAME TWO
Brody Syer knocked a team-high four RBIs in game two, all coming on a grand slam in the first inning. Zach Feaster drove in three on a pair of hits, including a solo home run.

Huell Lumpkin and Blake Sheffer both tossed a scoreless inning of relief while Mario Galloway provided the final two innings of relief.
 
The Warhawks wasted no time getting on the board, tallying six runs on a pair of hits in the first frame. Syer's grand slam made it 5-0 after a Tornado fielding error brought home AUM's first run. A wild pitch brought home the Warhawks' sixth and final run of the first.
