Warhawks Split Twin bill, Take Series From Christian Brothers

MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- The Auburn University at Montgomery baseball team used a come-from-behind win in the nightcap of a Saturday doubleheader to split a twin bill with Christian Brothers University and win the team's opening series of Gulf South Conference play.

The Warhawks fell 5-3 in the opening game of the doubleheader after a late rally fell short, and bounced back to complete a comeback win in the second contest 4-2 to take two-out-of-three from the Bucs on the weekend.

  • Freeman reached on an error and Ceman walked to open the AUM sixth, and Jarren Wright used a sacrifice bunt to move both runners up.
  • Brody Syer smacked an RBI single to left with two strikes to score Freeman, and a fielding error by the Bucs allowed Ceman to score and Syer to move to third.
