SALUQIS’ BASEBALL TEAM DEFEATS CHATTANOOGA IN SERIES FINALE
 Freshman
right-hander Jason Adams (pictured at left) allowed only four
hits and struck out three to lead the Southwest baseball team to a 4-1
win over Chattanooga State Technical and Community College on Saturday
afternoon at Gagliano Field. The win improved Southwest’s overall record
to 23-22 and its conference record to 9-15.
After losing the first two games of the three-game conference series by
scores of 5-3 and 10-3, the Saluqis jumped to a 3-0 lead in the second
inning. Clay Wright, Chris Rogers, and Matt Akin opened the inning with
consecutive singles with Wright scoring on Akin’s hit. Jonathan Thurston
then reached by a walk before Ryan Orr’s triple plated Rogers and
Thurston. The Saluqis added a single tally in the sixth inning when
Phillip White reached first on a hit-by-pitch, advanced to third on a
double by Rogers and scored on a sacrifice fly by Akin.
Southwest will travel to Fulton, Mississippi on Tuesday, April 19 for a
5 p.m. (non-conference) doubleheader against Itawamba Community College.
The Saluqis will travel to Cleveland, Tennessee this weekend for a
three-game TJCCAA series against Cleveland State Community College. A
single game will be played on Friday, April 22 at 2 p.m. (EDT) followed
by a noon (EDT) doubleheader on Saturday, April 23.
