THE BASICS: 
CLEVELAND, Mississippi --  Ethan Gill went 4-for-8 with six RBIs to help Delta State University (4-8, 3-4 GSC) sweep a Gulf South Conference doubleheader from visiting Union University (3-17, 2-12 GSC) on Sunday at Ferriss Field. Drew Milligan struck out a career-high 10 batters in a three-hit shutout and Gill had a pair of two-run doubles to help DSU to a 13-0 win in game one.  Gill had a two-run double and Colton Welch belted a two-run home run in the 4-1 win in game two.

Gill doubled in two runs and Jacob Swiney had an RBI double to highlight the inning.
  • The Statesmen added runs in the third, fifth and sixth innings. Cummins' triple started the third, scoring on Gill's second double of the afternoon to give DSU an 11-0 lead in the third. Giambone tripled and scored in the fifth and Matt Barrett singled and scored on a Jonathon Andrews sac-fly in the sixth for a 13-0 DSU advantage.
  • The game was called after the top of the seventh due to the NCAA mercy rule.
