by Michael Banks, Gulf South Conference

MILLINGTON, Tenn. – For the second straight year, the GSC crowned a first-time champion as a number three seed won the title for the third consecutive season.

West Florida (41-16) ended East Division Champion West Alabama's hopes to bring home a second title in three years as the Argos shutdown the Tigers Wednesday's GSC Tournament Championship Game, 6-1. After three scoreless innings, UWF's bats came alive in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings as the Argonauts plated five of its six runs behind All-Tournament Team selection Peter Antoske's first home run of the season. UWF pitcher and GSC Tournament Most Outstanding Player Brett McCullough was dominant on the mound for the second time this week, tossing seven and one thirds innings, scattering six hits with six strikeouts and allowing just one run. Senior first baseman Bo Williams, another All-Tournament Team member, smacked his second home run of the competition in the top of the ninth, putting the proverbial icing on the cake. The Argos first championship in their first finals gives them the GSC's automatic berth in the South Central Regional Tournament, May 17-20.

Memphis Claims Service Academy Classic Title with 5-1 Win Over Missouri
By Jason Redd, Memphis

MILLINGTON, Tenn. - After being held scoreless through seven innings, the University of Memphis offense exploded for five runs in the eighth inning to wrap up an undefeated weekend and claim the program's first Service Academies Spring Classic title since 1996. Senior shortstop Michael Murray drove in the title-winning run and took home the Classic's MVP honors.

The Memphis bats faced a tough challenge in Missouri ace Aaron Crowe, who quieted the Tigers to just four hits in his seven-inning outing. However, Memphis touched up three Missouri relievers for all five runs on five hits in its final at-bat.

Trailing 1-0, centerfielder K.K. Chalmers ignited the Tigers' rally with an infield single. Chalmers stole second and senior Bill Moss tied the game at 1-1 with a one-out double down the rightfield line, just out of the reach of Missouri first baseman John McKee. A Mizzou error proved to be costly as it kept a Tiger surge going and put Memphis baserunners on the corners with one out. Murray came up with the game-winner--a lined single to centerfield that score Moss and Adam Amar for a 3-1 Memphis cushion. A ground rule double by Ben Grisham, followed by a single up the middle off the bat of Eric Farrell capped the five-run outburst.

Will Hudgens came in and locked up the win for the Tigers in his college debut. The redshirt sophomore and U of M quarterback fanned two of the four batters he faced in 1.1 innings of work, including striking out the Trevor Coleman for the final out of the game.

In a pitcher's duel that saw both teams muster a combined seven hits through seven innings of play, Missouri got on the scoreboard first. Third baseman Kyle Mach was hot by a pitch, and pinch runner Kurt Calvert stole second, setting up an RBI-double from Brock Bond. Bond's hit was just one of two Mizzou hits on the afternoon.

The Tiger pitching staff was near flawless in a two-hit effort. Redshirt freshman Marc Ashley held Missouri hitless through his first three innings, and allowed just one hit in 5.2 innings. The Collierville High product retired eight of the last nine batters he faced in his collegiate debut. Senior southpaw Dusty Davis kept the game close, striking out two in as many innings.

Moss went 2-for-4 and hit his 41st and 42nd career doubles to move into fifth-place on Memphis' all-time doubles list. Murray added three hits and Farrell drove in three.

The Tiger win did not come without solid defense, highlighted by an exciting play by Chalmers in the seventh inning. Mizzou catcher, Trevor Coleman launched what looked to be a sure extra-base hit to the left centerfield gap. But centerfielder Chalmers was able to end the hopes as he crashed in the left-centerfield wall to make the catch.
