MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- The Auburn University at Montgomery baseball team spun a pair of shutouts on Alumni Day to sweep a doubleheader against the University of West Georgia to clinch the squad's seventh series win in Gulf South Conference play.

Clay Slagle, Michael Myers, and Payte Williams combined to pitch 14 shutout innings to hold the Wolves off the scoreboard in front of a packed house of fans, former AUM players and coaches, and their families.
