Jags Fire 21 Runs in Series Clinching Win Over West Georgia

MOBILE, Ala. - South Alabama's (8-3) offensive onslaught of 21 runs on 18 hits on Saturday at Stanky Field over West Georgia (1-10) secures its third consecutive series win to open the 2026 season.


PRIMARY THREADS
  • The Wolves jumped ahead in the first frame for the second consecutive night and grabbed three runs off of South Alabama starter Max Miller by way of four knocks.
  • Brennon Wright crossed the plate in the bottom half of the first on a Duncan Mathews double down the left field line for the first Jaguar run of the afternoon, before a Paxton Bigby RBI single and back-to-back RBI doubles from Mike Young and Blake Guerin made it a 4-3 game.
  • The Jags put up four runs in the third inning when Puckett scored on a throwing error before Blake Guerin hit a monster three-run homer to left field for his team-best fourth of the season.
  • Two Wolves scored in the fourth on one hit, but they would be the only runs allowed by Bryant Quimby who earned his second win of the season.
  • The Jaguar offense erupted for seven runs in the fourth frame, five runs would come with two outs in the inning. Rett Johnson, Brennon Wright, and Duncan Mathews would all contribute for RBI hits.
  • A West Georgia defensive miscue would plate Wright in the sixth before Ethan Melton singled home Mike Young and Brady Picarelli to cap off the scoring day for the South Alabama offense.

KEY STATS
  • Brennon Wright has scored six times in the first two games of the series. Wright's 4-5 day at the plate gets his average up to a team-leading .475 on 19 hits.
  • Guerin's three hit day in four at-bats with a homer and team-best four RBI led the way in the 21 run performance.
  • The team improves to a .341 batting average with 46 RBI in two-out situations.
  • 21 runs is a season high for the Jaguar offense and is the third game this season with double-digit figures.
  • Bryant Quimby (W, 2-0) recorded his second win while starter Wilson Donnelly (L, 0-2) carded the loss.

QUOTABLE
HEAD COACH MARK CALVI
"It was a good offensive response after last night. We took our walks and they hit some guys, but we got some hits and did our damage. We did a good job of playing team offense today and I thought Quimby did a great job of settling down the game after a shaky start. These guys really like each other and pull for each other and that's a big deal."

ON DECK
The Jags are set for a 1:00 p.m. first pitch tomorrow, March 1 in the series finale. Junior right-hander Daniel Gonzalez (1-0, 1.80 ERA) will make his third start for the Jags while Lex Kenny (0-1, 4.91 ERA) is the probable for West Georgia.
