Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 NATCHITOCHES—Chase Daughdrill was almost impossible to get out with five hits in six at-bats along with three walks in a double-header sweep for the Northwestern State baseball team over Southern by scores of 13-9 and 6-2 Saturday afternoon at Brown-Stroud Field.

The win in both games Saturday gave the Demons (6-4) a three-game sweep over the Jaguars (2-5) after NSU downed SU 4-3 on Friday.

"It goes back to last week. We won two of three on the road," said second-year head coach Lane Burroughs. "A couple of our goals for this season are not to get swept on the road and to 'defend the Brown-Stroud.' We have done each of those the past two weekends.

"The sweep was huge. We've won four straight and we're over .500," he said. "Our guys played hard and they are never out of the fight."

Daughdrill was 4-for-5 with four runs batted in and three runs scored in the first game and 1-for-1 in the second game with three walks. He had two doubles that scored runs in the first game.

Brett Underwood and Caleb Dugas were each 4-of-8 on the day. Underwood scored four runs and Dugas knocked in three and scored two.

Southern scored the first run of the day with a RBI-single by D.J. Wallace that scored Marcus Tomlin in the opening inning of the first game. Northwestern State answered with five runs in the bottom part of the frame highlighted by Daughdrill's and Nathan Lyons' two-out doubles that each scored two runs.

Joel Atkinson led off the game with a hit-by-pitch and was able to steal second base before Underwood put down a sacrifice bunt that advanced Atkinson to third. Dugas lined a ball to right center that tied the game at one apiece.

Two batters after a sacrifice bunt from C.J. Webster, Daughdrill ripped one to left field that scored Dugas and Underwood. Daughdrill and Edwin Gomez, who reached by a walk, scored when Lyons hit a double to the left side.

"Game one was an offensive explosion," said Burroughs. "It was an old-school game with the live bats. The thing about game one is that every time they scored we matched them. Even when they hit a five-spot inning (sixth inning), we answered with a five-spot."

NSU added another in the second inning when Underwood scored on a SU error. The Jags scored one run in the third inning, and the Demons answered that one. Daughdrill reached on a single and scored on a single from Atkinson four batters later.

Down 7-2, Southern tied the game in the top of the sixth inning with four-straight singles that scored three of the five runs in the frame. NSU responded with five of its own in the bottom portion of the frame to push the score to 12-7.

Atkinson led off the sixth inning with a double down the left line and advanced to third when Underwood lined it right back to the pitcher and was able to reach before the defense could handle it. Aktinson scored on a single from Dugas. Two batters later, Regan Kaufman walked, and then scored with Dugas on a double from Daughdrill.

Daughdrill scored on a single from Lyons, and Gomez, who reached on a walk, scored on a single from Matt Alford. Alford recorded his first-career hit in the third inning of the contest.

Southern scored in the seventh inning, and NSU matched it in the bottom part of the frame on a score by Underwood.

NSU scored two runs in the first inning of the second game and three in the third inning. Kaufman had a RBI-single that scored Underwood and Gomez knocked in Kaufman on a single through the right side.

Lyons had a two-run double in the third inning and that scored Daughdrill and Gomez, who both reached on walks. Lyons scored on a Jaguar error.

Adam Oller (1-0) took the victory in the second game. He pitched five innings and allowed seven hits and one run in his first career outing. Cameron Brewer (1-0) was credited with the victory in the first game.

Eight of the nine innings in game two were thrown by freshmen. Austin Tanner threw two perfect innings and Josh Morris pitched one inning and allowed on hit and one walk.

"Adam Oller got his first collegiate win," said Burroughs. "You never know if he's nervous or feels pressured. He doesn't show it and it doesn't seem to bother him.

"Tanner did great and Morris did well at the end," he said.

Every Demon who started on the day recorded a hit. Nathan Lyons recorded three hits and Alford and Atkinson each had two. Garrett Logan, who started the second game, had two hits and scored a run on the day.

"We swung the bats really well today and got some big hit," said Burroughs. "What we did is we got a lot of two out RBIs. That pays dividends."

Next up for the Demons will be Top 10 LSU on Tuesday in Brown-Stroud Field at 7:00. It is the final event in the "State of Purple" day that features the Demons against the Tigers, the Lady Demons softball team versus the Lady Tigers, and tailgate event between the two games.
