In the second game, it was the Southern hitters’ turn. Seven of them had at least two his in a 14-9 victory.
The Golden Lions (19-14, 13-5) struck first in the opener after leadoff hitter Rashawn Tillman lined a single to left field. The ball scooted under the glove of SU left fielder Tyler Kirksey, putting a runner in scoring position with no outs.
Later on, Jaguars right fielder D.J. Wallace couldn’t bring in a fly ball near the warning track, leading to a two-run triple. UAPB picked up a third run on a sacrifice fly in the top of the second inning.
But that was all.
