STATESBORO, Ga. – Keegan Curtis held the Georgia Southern Eagles to one run over six innings and his offense backed him with four runs over the first three innings as the ULM Warhawks won Sunday's Sun Belt Conference series finale 11-1 in seven innings.
 
The Eagles (26-18, 16-8) won the series on Friday after sweeping a doubleheader but were held scoreless over five innings to start the game before cracking the scoreboard in the sixth inning after Ryan Cleveland grounded into a bases loaded double play.
 
Curtis (3-0) allowed just four hits and two walks over six innings of work. The freshman righthander struck out four batters and allowed one run over six innings to pick up the victory.
 
Justin Stawychny plated a one-out walk with a fielder's choice in the first inning to put the Warhawks (21-23, 8-13) up 1-0.
 
Starter Connnor Simmons walked two more batters in the second inning and a pair of errors led to two more runs for ULM. Simmons (2-4) allowed only one hit but was tagged with three runs – one earned – over 1.2 innings.
 
The Warhawks extended a 4-0 lead in the sixth inning, scoring five runs on two hits and an error. ULM batted around and plated three walks with a triple from Stawychny, a balk, a Danny Springer single and a throwing error.
 
ULM added two more runs in the seventh inning on a Stawychny double to left field to go up 11-1 and force the run rule into effect.
 
Baseball will travel to Jacksonville to face the Dolphins for a mid-week game on Tuesday before returning home to host their final weekend Sun Belt Conference series of the year at J.I. Clements Stadium against South Alabama.
