AUGUSTINE, Fla. - Senior outfielder Josh Wilson became the Peach Belt Conference's all-time hits leader on Saturday in Armstrong Atlantic State's doubleheader loss to host Flagler College in St. Augustine. The Saints completed the series sweep from the Pirates, winning 6-3 and 4-2. Wilson's infield single in the second inning of the first game gave the Springfield, Ga., native 305 hits for his career, surpassing the previous record of 304, held by Jason Morales of UNC Pembroke, who played from 2005-2008. He finished the doubleheader with three hits, going into his final week of play with the Pirates with 307. The Saints (26-20, 14-10 PBC) took game one by building a 4-0 lead through the first six innings and holding on for the 6-3 victory. Jonathan Armold (6-1) limited the Pirates to one run and seven hits through seven innings, walking one and striking out three to notch the victory. Zach Gray earned his first save of the season by hurling 1 2/3 innings of shutout ball, giving up one hit and one walk while striking out two. Bryan Roby (2-4) took the loss for the Pirates in game one, giving up nine hits and six runs - five earned - in seven innings, walking two and striking out five. Alex Wyche led the Pirates at the plate in game one with a pair of hits and three stolen bases, while Cameron Scott and Wilson had two hits apiece. Flagler's Will Percy led the Saints with a 3-for-3 game with two runs scored. In game two, the Pirates scored a run in the top of the first as Wyche walked, stole second and third, then scored on a Chris Zittrouer sacrifice fly putting AASU up, 1-0. The score would stay 1-0 until the eighth inning, when the homestanding Saints would erupt for four runs, keyed by a two- RBI double by Ollie Bertrand. The Pirates plated one in the top of the ninth on an RBI single by Wyche and had the tying runs on base, but Flagler closer Tyler McKendree retired Chris Zittrouer on a grounder to third to close out the doubleheader sweep.
