The Lee University baseball team ended a four-game losing streak with a doubleheader sweep of Auburn University at Montgomery Saturday afternoon at Larry Carpenter Stadium. The Flames came from behind to claim a walk-off 5-4 win in the opener and led from start to finish to win the second game 4-1.

With the two wins on Saturday, the Flames claimed its second Gulf South Conference series of the season and improved to 10-8 overall and 4-4 in GSC action. The Flames were edged 4-2 in Friday night's game by the Warhawks (12-9, 2-4 GSC).

"I was really proud of our response today after losing a tough game Friday night." Said Lee head coach Mark Brew. "We got quality pitching all day and got some clutch hits when we had to have them. Hopefully, we can use this momentum moving forward into the week with a mid-week game at Lincoln Memorial and a big road series at Delta state on the weekend.

The Flames are scheduled to travel to Harrogate, Tennessee on Tuesday to battle Lincoln Memorial University. The non-conference meeting is set for 3 p.m. EST.
 
Game One
The Flames went up 2-0 in the third inning with a two-run double by Jared Demkowicz. AUM cut their deficit in half with a solo run in the top of the fourth inning. Kasey Clark singled and moved to third on a groundout by Zach Dew. A single by Corey Armstrong moved him to third and Clark scored on a throwing error by the Flames.

The Warhawks grabbed the lead one inning later. Clayton Phillips reached on a leadoff walk and Jackson Ceman reached on an error. Nick Freeman doubled down the leftfield line to score Phillips and Ceman and give AUM a 3-2 lead. Lee tied the game at 3-3 with a sacrifice fly by Joshua Perez in the sixth inning, but AUM responded with an RBI double by Brody Syer in the very next half inning to put the Warhawks back into the lead.

Lee continued to trail into the bottom of the ninth inning. Isaac Quinones led off with a single through the right side, followed by a single to right-center by Dylan Standifer. Demkowicz laid down a bunt and beat the throw to load the bases with zero outs. Following a strikeout, Brandon Daniels slapped a single down the leftfield line to plate Quinones and Standifer to set off the Lee celebration.

Miguel Alba started and had a no decision after going six innings. He scattered five hits, allowed three runs (one earned), walked two and struck out two. Sam Fulton pitched the final three innings. He gave up one run on one hit and fanned three to earn the win and improve to 2-1 on the season.

Clayton Slagle was charged with the loss. He entered the game in the bottom of the ninth and was tagged for two runs and four hits, while recording one strikeout.

Quinones led the Lee offense with four singles and two runs scored. Daniels had three singles, including the game-winning two-run base hit. Demkowicz was the only other Flames batter to record multiple hits with a double and a single.
 
Game Two
The Flames struck for two runs in the first inning with a pair of two out singles by Daniels and JJ Williams. Lee added another run on a Quinones RBI single in the second inning. AUM ended the Lee shutout with an RBI single by Syer.

The score remained 3-1 in the seven-inning contest until Williams added an insurance run with a solo home run in the bottom of the sixth inning. It was the first of his collegiate career.

Jack Nedrow collected the complete-game win. He allowed one run, six hits, walked one and struck out four in seven innings to raise his record to 3-2.

Slagle was charged with the loss after starting and giving up two runs, three hits and a walk in 0.2 innings.

Williams collected two of the team's five hits. Thomas Zazzaro legged out a double, while Quinones and Daniels each delivered a single in the game.
