In the nine inning game, the Buffs jumped out quickly with five runs in the first inning. King responded as they closed the gap to 6-4 at the end of the third inning, but Milligan quickly widened the gap with a six run fourth inning.

Offensively, freshman Brett Maddox (Lake Butler, Fla.) led the way as he was 4-for-6 from the plate with three RBIs.

With the victory, Milligan moves to 9-6 on the season while the Tornado dropped to 7-6. The Buffs remained at 2-1 in the AAC.
