Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 HUNTSVILLE, Ala.-Host Alabama-Huntsville swept a doubleheader from the Christian Brothers University Bucs Saturday, holding off a late CBU rally for a 5-4 win in game one and winning 6-0 in the nightcap.

In the opener, the Bucs (11-27, 3-20 GSC) struck first and last, but UAH (28-13, 16-7) won the game in the middle innings.

Josh Hopkins (Olive Branch, Miss./Southern Baptist Educational Center) singled to left for the Bucs in the top of the second, moving to second on a Josh Ambuehl (Las Vegas, Nev./Arlington HS) sacrifice bunt and third on a Caleb Goodwin (Shreveport, La./Evangel Christian Academy) single. A balk scored Hopkins to put the Bucs on the board.

The Chargers scored three in the third, on two doubles, two singles and a hit batter, to take the lead for good.

Hopkins pulled the Bucs within a run in the top of the sixth when he launched a solo homer to left, but the Chargers restored their two-run edge in the bottom of the sixth with a walk, a single and a successful squeeze bunt.

A two-out run in the eighth gave UAH a 5-2 lead as they capitalized on a walk, a steal and a single.

The Bucs would rally in the top of the ninth. Tyler Burnett (Germantown, Tenn./Germantown HS) singled through the right side with one out, and he moved to third on a throwing error when Mickey Smith (Arlington, Tenn./Arlington HS) hit into a force play. Mac Cooley (Bartlett, Tenn./Horn Lake HS) hit a two-run double to the gap in left-center, putting the tying run in scoring position with one out, but a strikeout and a groundout ended the threat and the game.

Hopkins went 3-for-4 with two runs in the game, and Cooley was 3-for-5 with two RBI. Smith and Ambuehl also collected two hits each.
