HOOVER - An all around effort from the Blazers resulted in a dominant performance over West Georgia on Friday at the Hoover Met Complex.
Friday's 14 inning exhibition showcased the ample amount of talent UAB has in store for this spring. The Blazers' pitchers struck out 16 West Georgia batters in 14 innings of action. UAB SP Colin Daniel's four strikeouts over two innings began the dominant day for the pitching staff. Likewise, Caleb Pittman also had four strikeouts across two innings. Pittman, Ryan Olson, Nathan Shelton, and Chase Ingram all struck out multiple Wolves hitters in their respective two innings of work. Cole Cheatham and Braxton Shelton also contributed two innings a piece with zero earned runs allowed. Brooks House capped off the day by picking up a strikeout of his own in a scoreless inning of work. Overall, Blazer pitching allowed two earned runs in 14 innings of play.
Offensively, the Green and Gold were just as impressive as every batter for the Blazers reached base on Friday. The bats got started with a Camden Hayslip home run in the first inning to open the scoring. Nick Hollifield contributed four hits of his own and Alex Cheeseman also contributed three hits and two RBI. Todd Clay, Gavin Lewis Jr., and Jaden Anderson all contributed a hit and an RBI. Logan Braunschweig and Jax Yoxtheimer both reached base via multiple walks.
The second half of the game featured all nine starters recording at least one hit. Tyler Waugh and Mayes White both logged two hits a piece. Landon Beaver, Tyler Harrington, Ty Mauldin, Patrick McGlon, Braxton Brooks, Louis D'Alessio and Matthew Roncalli each recorded a hit a piece. D'Alessio drove in two runs while Beaver, Harrington, White, Brooks, and Roncalli each contributed an RBI.
