HOW IT HAPPENED | GM 1

• Delta State and West Florida played the first three innings scoreless until UWF struck for a pair of runs in the fourth inning. Brooks Mitchell singled to left to plate a run, then Dylan Menhennett scored when Delta State picked off Mitchell at first after a rundown to make it 2-0. 
• The Argos added a sacrifice fly RBI from catcher Trevor Payne in the fifth to make it 3-0.
• West Florida then threw a four-spot on the board in the seventh inning to open up the lead. Matthew Estrada singled to left to score Mitchell, and Adam Imwalle hit a sac fly to left to plate Justin Dunnam to make it 5-0. 
• Miller Hancock kept the inning going with a single to center with the bases loaded that brought home two more runs and made it 7-0 UWF.
• CJ Estave grounded out to short to score Chad Ragland in the ninth to make it 7-1, but that was all the Statesmen could muster.

• The score remained 4-0 until Estave hit a solo homerun to left to pull DSU within three, 4-1, in the third frame.
