TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Stillman College answered a 3-0 hole with 12-straight runs on Tuesday afternoon en route to a 13-12 non-conference victory over University of Tennessee Southern at Tiger Field. The win avenged a loss at UTS last month and snapped a seven-game losing streak for the Tigers.

After the Tigers left the bases loaded in the bottom of the first inning, Tennessee Southern used a two-out rally to take a 1-0 lead on a Janzen Powell RBI single. The Firehawks worked their lead to 2-0 in the top of the third with a two-out, bases-loaded wild pitch by Bobby Woodard. Blake Birdsong singled and drove in another run with an infield single, but Woodard was able to tag out a runner stretching to third on the play.

Devin Kelly singled to start the bottom of the third inning and used a sac bunt and wild pitch to advance to third base. Sieas Elliott gave the Tigers their first run with a two-out RBI single to right. Another wild pitch and Samuel Fleming RBI single to shallow right drove in courtesy runner Varrick Lawrence to cut the Firehawks' lead to one, 3-2.

Stillman then shutout the Firehawks, 10-0, over the next two innings.

In the fourth, TJ Davis got things started with a single to center. Thomas Stovall pinch ran and stole second on a double steal with Bilal Whittle. Stovall scored on a bad throw and Whittle scored on a balk to give the Tigers a 4-3 lead. Elliott drove in another run before a pair scored on a wild throw by the UTS third baseman. Bryant Rhooms capped the six-run inning with an RBI double.

Four more Tiger runs scored in the bottom of the fifth: three on wild pitches and another on a Griff Minor sacrifice fly.

UTS pushed across eight runs off the Stillman bullpen in the top of the sixth inning. Stillman manufactured a run in the bottom of the sixth inning. Whittle drew a one-out walk and stole second before taking third on an error. He scored on a sac fly by Kelly to lead 13-12.

Minor pitched the seventh and eighth, allowing one run in the top of the eighth before getting a fly ball to end the inning.

Cody Clark walked the bases loaded in the ninth, but pitched out of the jam to collect his second save of the season.

Elliott hit .800 in the game (4-for-5) with two RBI to lead Stillman's offense. Whittle had two walks and two runs scored. Kelly, Minor, Fleming and Rhooms each had one hit.

Woodard (1-0) collected his first win after allowing six unearned runs, eight total, off 11 hits and a walk through 5.2 innings. He struck out seven. Raul Polanco, Isidro Jimenez, Minor and Clark also took the hill.

Stillman (12-20, 1-14) will travel to Brewton-Parker College in Mount Vernon, Georgia this weekend for a three-game Southern States Athletic Conference series. The Tigers will meet the Barons at 6 p.m. EDT Friday night, April 14, and then a doubleheader on Saturday, April 15.
