Hickman's Complete Game Helps Baseball to 6-3 Victory, Series Win Over Union

JACKSON, Tenn. – In his first start of the season, Auburn University at Montgomery pitcher Grant Hickman went the distance with seven strong innings to pick up his second win of the year and help the Warhawks take a weekend Gulf South Conference series against Union University.

Hickman (2-1) logged his first complete game in his first start for the Warhawks and scattered seven hits with three strikeouts against just two earned runs allowed. Offensively, third baseman Zach Dew went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBIs, and two runs scored as he extended his hitting streak to 19 games.
