Six-Run Seventh Inning Helps Baseball Sweep Union

MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- The Auburn University at Montgomery baseball team scored four runs in the bottom of the second inning and six runs in the bottom of the seventh en route to a 10-4 game three win over Union University to capture the team's first series sweep of the season.

AUM stole game one 6-5 in walk-off fashion, clubbed three home runs in a 10-3 win in game two, and used a pair of crooked innings to again notch double-digit runs to take game three of the weekend.

HIGHLIGHTS
  • RH Frankland tripled down the right field line to put AUM up 1-0 in the second frame.

  • Union scored a run in the fifth and the sixth inning to trim the lead in half.
  • The Warhawks erupted for six runs in the last of the seventh inning to blow the game open.
  • After Zach Dew and Ashton Thomas both singled home a run, Jackson Ceman delivered a two-RBI base knock up the middle to give AUM some breathing room. 
  • The Bulldogs then committed an error that plated Ceman and Thomas and put the orange and black up 10-2.
  • Union scored two late runs, but it was too little too late as the Warhawks capped off the series sweep. 
ON THE MOUND

  • The game marked the seventh win of the season in which the Warhawks scored double-digit runs.
