Argos sweep Delta State series, clinch GSC Tournament berth

Ronnie May records a pair of saves to total eight this season

PENSACOLA, Fla. – The West Florida baseball team clinched a berth in the Gulf South Conference Tournament and swept a two-game, rain-shortened series against Delta State at Jim Spooner Field Sunday.
 
The Argonauts won a game that had been suspended due to weather 2-0 in the first game before coming back to defeat the Statesmen 6-5 in the second game of the day.
 
"It was a great win to finish up the game from yesterday," UWF coach Mike Jeffcoat said. "You hated for it to stop with Brandon Nagem throwing lights out yesterday, but Walker O'Connor threw three great innings today. Ronnie May did a great job closing it out.
 
"In the second game, we got behind the eight ball a little bit. But, our guys showed some resiliency. We put a two-spot on the board to get close. Then, we were eventually able to take the lead. Reed Bright did a great job out of the bullpen and May closed it again. The guys showed a lot of fight and heart on the final day at Jim Spooner Field."
 
Game One: West Florida 2, Delta State 0
 
Nagem (Pensacola, Fla./Northwest Florida State) pitched five scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts and no walks Saturday before the game was suspended due to weather.
 
The Argos led 2-0 after a pair of third inning RBI singles before the delay.
 
When play resumed Sunday, O'Connor (Bedford, Mass./Malden Catholic HS) came on in relief to pitch three scoreless innings before May (Apopka, Fla./Apopka HS) recorded his seventh save of the season with a scoreless ninth.
 
Game Two: West Florida 6, Delta State 5
 
Jarrod Petree (Apopka, Fla./Central Florida) lasted just 2.1 innings, and Alex Stevens (Pensacola, Fla./Lurleen B. Wallace CC) pitched one inning of relief before Bright (Pelham, Ala./Snead State CC) entered the game with a 5-3 deficit.
 
Bright pitched 4.2 innings, allowing two hits with four strikeouts to earn the win and improve to 4-3 this season.
 
Down 3-0 in the third, UWF tied the game 3-3. DSU took the lead back, 5-3, with a two-run fourth, but the Argos tied the game 5-5 in the fifth on a pair of RBI singles.
 
The offenses settled down until the seventh when Nick Kerkmann (Oviedo, Fla./Hagerty HS) drove in Nic Strasser (Orlando, Fla./Dr. Phillips HS) with an RBI double.
 
May closed the game for his second save of the day.
 
UWF has clinched a berth in the GSC Tournament May 2-5. Tournament seeding and the final tournament field will be set after a pair of Monday games between other GSC opponents.
