Sykes hit .667 in the series sweep of West Georgia. Sykes posted six hits in nine at-bats with a double, two RBIs, and four runs scored. The Columbus, Miss., native also drew a pair of walks and swiped a base. The freshman recorded two multi-hit efforts and logged a hit in each of the three games. Sykes hit .833 (5-for-6) in the twinbill on Friday. The three-game sweep marks the first over a GSC opponent since 1996 when the Choctaws took a series from former member Central Arkansas. The three-game sweep is the first over a conference for MC since 2014 against the University of Ozarks.
