Spring Hill baseball takes two from Miles, pitcher Jackson Howard rolls to 5-0

MOBILE, Alabama -- The Spring Hill College (SHC) baseball swept both ends of a Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) doubleheader away from the Miles College Bears at historic Stan Galle Field on Saturday afternoon by the scores of 12-3 and 12-2.

Badger starter Jackson Howard moved to 5-0 on the year with a six-inning performance that saw him allow just three hits with four walks and three strikeouts in the opening game. Justin Bartley lasted 3.1 innings and allowed six hits with three walks and three strikeouts for the Bears.

The night cap crowd watched Stephen Douglas (3-1) go six innings and give up six hits with no walks while striking out eight Bear batters. Austin Pate took the loss for Miles in 2.1 innings with seven hits and two walks with no strikeouts.

For the Badger offense, SHC racked up 21 hits versus Bear pitching as senior right fielder Taylor Eads blasted two home runs in a nine-run 3rd inning of the second game to finish the day with a tally of five hits, six RBIs, five runs scored and two doubles. Junior 1st baseman William Floros mashed his fourth homer of the year to lead off the first game while junior catcher Alex Jones ripped a two-run home run out of right field in the 4th inning of the same game.
