Badgers hand Sims win No. 900 in 13-0 verdict over Lane
MOBILE, Alabama -- The Spring Hill College (SHC) baseball team handed head coach Frank Sims the 900th victory of his 34-year career with a 13-0 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) win over the Lane College (LC) Dragons on Friday night at historic Stan Galle Field.

Austin Barrios (3-3) went the distance for his first shutout of the season, holding the Dragons (1-24, 0-7 SIAC West) to five hits with no walks and seven strikeouts.

Centerfielder Justin Collier mashed two home runs including a 6th inning Grand Slam while catcher Brennan Fontenot got the Badger train rolling in the 1st inning with a two-run line drive rocket over the wall in right field. Left fielder Luke Wall added three hits with a double and an RBI.

Malcolm Davis fell to 0-4 on the season for the Dragons, allowing six hits with eight walks and a strikeout in five innings.

Sims, the winningest coach in SHC history, began his career on The Hill with just 10 games remaining in the 1985 season and has since built a 864-856-3 record with the Badgers and a 900-866-3 mark overall.

The Badgers (13-13, 6-0 SIAC West) will host the Dragons again in a noon SIAC doubleheader on Saturday at historic Stan Galle Field.
