CLEVELAND, Ga. (March 15, 2014) â€" Milligan College starting pitchers Tyler Wilson and Jake Watts picked up Saturday right where Ethan Fleenor left off Friday, rolling to a pair of four-hit victories, 8-2 and 5-1, against Truett-McConnell College in AAC baseball action.
 
Milligan (11-8, 5-4 AAC) swept the series three games to none.
 
Wilson lasted six innings and allowed two (earned) runs on four hits and no walks while striking out three in game one. After allowing only one base runner through the first three innings, he gave up a solo home run with two out in the fourth and an RBI-double with none out in the fifth. Beyond that, he never allowed a runner past first.
 
Milligan was already on top 8-0 by the time the Bears (6-21, 1-8 AAC) broke open the scoring on their end. Edwin Soto had an RBI-fielder's choice in the first inning on a play which actually saw two runs come across to score. In the third, a Dustin Clawson sacrifice fly was sandwiched by RBI-singles from Hunter Carpenter, Tyler Weir and Cody Hyder. Milligan put up five runs in that inning and added one more in the fourth on Weir's sac fly.
 
Watts was just as effective in game two, allowing four hits and one (earned) run in six quality innings. He ran into trouble in the third when he allowed a couple of leadoff hits and a sacrifice bunt put the tying run in scoring position, but Watts managed his escape on a pair of groundouts.
 
Milligan put the game away in the top half of the sixth when pinch-hitting Chavez Golden drove in Soto from second on a single to center field, and Luke Kirk drove in two with a single through the left side three batters later.
 
Codie Campbell and Corey Jenkins each saw an inning out of the pen, relieving Wilson and Watts for the final inning of each victory. Campbell threw a perfect seventh in game one. Jenkins struck out one in the seventh inning of game two.
 
Kirk and Soto finished each game of the doubleheader with two hits. Weir drove in three runs, and Sam Tarlton had three hits (3-for-4) in game one.
 
Milligan will return home for a midweek tilt against Southern Wesleyan University Wednesday, March 19 at 5 p.m.
