MONTEVALLO, Ala. – No. 9/10 UWF baseball stayed hot with an 8-3 win at Montevallo Wednesday. Daniel Floyd improved to 5-0 on the season with six innings of one-run ball, and reigning GSC player of the week Matt Sullivan reached base six times as the Argos sprinted past the Falcons at Kermit A. Johnson Field.

"Had a lot of hits today and put enough runs on the board, but also left some in scoring position. Overall, a very solid road win today," said UWF head coach Mike Jeffcoat. "Looking forward to being back home at The Spoon this weekend."
 
Floyd was brilliant in his second start of the season. He has now allowed just two runs over 11 innings as a starter this year. The Wallace-Dothan CC alum allowed just three hits while striking out four. He issued just one walk.
 
"Pitchers did their job today," said Jeffcoat. "Very good start by Floyd, and Middleton, Rossi for an out, and Pahlad to finish it. They needed to gain their confidence."
 
The Argos got to Falcons starter Christian Simon (0-2) early. Robert Lopez tagged the Falcon hurler for an RBI single to score Trevor Payne and make it 1-0 in the first. Matthew Estrada and Payne combined for three RBIs with two outs in the fourth to give UWF a 4-1 lead.

Sullivan hit his eighth homer of the season in the sixth. His solo blast made it 5-1. Sullivan has now homered three times over the last two games. He would finish the game with three runs scored.
 
Estrada and Payne each finished with two hits. Isaac Phillips racked up three hits and two runs scored. Payne picked up a pair of RBIs. Both he and Sullivan have now reached in 25 straight games.
 
Sullivan ran his team-best hitting streak to 19 straight games with three hits. He is now tied with Dustin Lawley (2010) for the third-longest hit streak in program history. The all-time UWF record is held by Stephen Jackson, who hit safely in 29 straight games in 1998.
 
Jared Middleton, Tony Rossi, and Josh Pahlad finished the game on the mound for the Argos. The trio did not allow an earned run. The Argos outhit Montevallo 14-6. The Falcons (15-15, 12-6 GSC) committed three errors in the game.
 
UWF (22-9, 13-2 GSC) will return home for a three-game series vs. Shorter (16-13, 9-8 GSC) beginning Saturday with a 1:00 p.m. doubleheader at Jim Spooner Field.
