MILLIGAN COLLEGE, Tenn. (April 12, 2014) â€" Tyler Wilson threw a complete game three-hitter in game one, and the Milligan College baseball team scored 10 runs on as many hits in game two to take the first two games of the three-game series against Tennessee Wesleyan College on a scorching hot Saturday afternoon at Anglin Field.
 
Milligan (19-15, 11-9 AAC) won the series with scores of 4-1 and 10-6 and will look to complete the three-game sweep when the series concludes Sunday at 2 p.m. Tennessee Wesleyan, which entered the weekend as the first-place team in the AAC, fell to 23-18-1 (12-7 AAC).
 
Wilson (5-2) picked up his fourth win in his last five starts, striking out five in his first complete game of the season. The left-hander's only conceded run came when TWC right fielder David Donald led off the third inning with a single then came around to score on a sacrifice bunt, a fly-out to right, and a sac fly to left-center. Donald's run gave Tennessee Wesleyan the lead, but he was the only Bulldog to cross the plate in game one.
 
Milligan answered right back as Luke Kirk doubled in a run to tie in the bottom half of the third, then a TWC error and Dustin Clawson's sac fly gave the Buffs the lead for good in the fourth. Another Kirk double in the fifth led to an added insurance run for Wilson as Corey McPherson singled to left to make it 4-1.
 
Kirk was one of eight Buffaloes with a hit in the opener. He finished 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run.
 
Game two
 
Milligan turned to Jake Watts who scattered four hits and three earned runs across 5.1 innings. The righty struck out one and walked one.
 
Edwin Soto drove in the would-be winning run with a single to left field with one out in the top of the first, and after exchanging a run apiece in the third, the Buffs pulled away with a four-spot in the fourth.
 
McPherson hit a two-run single in that inning before scoring on a Soto sac fly.
 
Tennessee Wesleyan crept back with four runs in the six, to make it 7-5, and put the tying run on base but could not get any closer. Milligan added three runs on two hits and left the bases loaded in the sixth.
 
Watts (6-2) was the winning pitcher while Corey Jenkins (2) picked up the save.
 
Brandon Malone paced the Milligan offense with three hits, and McPherson and Soto finished with two apiece. McPherson also drove in two runs and scored three times. Soto had three RBI's and a run.
  
Milligan and TWC will finish the series Sunday at 2 p.m. After that, the Buffs will hit the road for Berea College on Wednesday and St. Andrews University next Saturday-Sunday.
