MOBILE, Ala. – A six-run fifth inning allowed South Alabama to pull away and deal ULM a rare Sunday loss, as the Warhawks fell 12-2 at Stanky Field.
The Jaguars (21-7, 12-0 SBC) struck first when Drew LaBounty’s single scored a run with two outs in the bottom of the third.
USA’s Danny Martinez was safe on a close double-play call that would have kept ULM within 1-0 after five innings. A run also scored on that sequence before Carter Perkins drove in two more with a single. Jared Barnes’ three-run homer just past the leap of Nathan Pugh in left field increased the Jaguar lead to 7-0.
