VALDOSTA, Ga. - The Union University baseball team swept the double-header Saturday at Valdosta State University, winning game one 10-4 in 10 innings, then rallying to take game two, 15-9.

The first game of the day ended in the second extra inning game of the series. Union scored first with a run in the third. After VSU tied the game in the fourth, Union regained the lead with a run in the six, then added to it with two in the seventh to lead 4-1. VSU scored a run in the seventh, one in the eighth, and a lead off homer in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game. In the 10th, Union scored two runs on an RBI single from Dylon Barrett and a sacrifice fly from Cody Tjomsland. Then, Union scored four more times, all coming on bases loaded walks. Union's Cole Lannom (2-1) closed out the bottom of the 10th for his second win of the season. Lannom tossed two innings, allowing no runs on two hits with two strikeouts and no walks.

Then, Union exploded for nine runs in the sixth inning to lead 15-7. Ramsey's 2-RBI single and a Davis RBI double were the big blows in that 9-run outburst.
