KEY MOMENT
An eight-run fourth inning, highlighted by two, two-run singles by both Trent Giambrone and Landon Thibodeaux and a two-run double by Dalton Skelton propelled Delta State to its second lead of the game, 10-2, a lead that DSU would not relinquish.
QUOTABLE
I'm proud of the way we were able to piece our pitching together today," Said Delta State Head Coach Mike Kinnison. "I thought Cody (Waddell) got us deep in enough and (Trevor) Blocker came in and gave us the outs we needed. Everyone's pitching staffs are thin right now and you're just hoping to get enough innings out of your starters so your bullpen can patch up the holes."
NOTABLE
Delta State (18 hits) and Alabama Huntsville, with 11, combined for the most hits in one game (29) so far in the 2015 GSC Baseball Tournament. The two also combined for the least amount of errors as well (two by DSU, while UAH had none).
UP NEXT
Delta State moves on to face West Georgia tonight at 7 (CT) for the right to face top-seed West Alabama in Tuesday's GSC Baseball Tournament Final.
