Two-Out Hitting Leads Montevallo Past UVA Wise in Doubleheader

MONTEVALLO, Ala. – Montevallo Baseball opened its home season with a pair of wins over UVA-Wise, Friday, in Montevallo.
 
 
UM defeated the Cavaliers 5-3 in game one and 9-3 in game two of the doubleheader to extend its current win streak to three.
 
Christian Kallaher led Montevallo on the day as he went 3-for-5 combined, with three runs scored, three RBI through both games. He also reached base five times.
 
 
Connor Phelan pitched four innings in relief through both games and struck out three, allowing just two ones. The senior recorded his first save of the year in game two.
 
 
"We had two good wins today. Logan gave us a great start in game one and the bullpen was great all day. Phelan threw the ball great today in both games and was good to see some guys out of the pen bounce back today and throw well," said Head Coach Chandler Rose. "We've shown some flashes offensively but still not putting it all together, but I like our fight. Christian Kallaher and Mitchell Walker with big home runs and Huddelston with a huge two out double in that second game. Quick turnaround, so we have to be ready to get back after it early tomorrow morning."
 
Montevallo scored eight of its 15 total runs on the day with two outs.

Senior Logan Samuels earned the start in game one and finished with seven k's over his 5.1 innings pitched and allowed just one run.
 
After scoreless frames for each side in the first inning, freshman shortstop Payton Stephenson added UM's first run in the second. With two outs, Christian Kallaher walked and stole second to move into scoring position. Stephenson singled to left field, scoring Kallaher to put UM on top 1-0. Two-out hitting proved to be a common theme for the Falcons throughout the game.
 
In the third, after UVA Wise tied the score with a solo-homer, Connor Crowson drew a two-out walk, and once again the Falcons took advantage of the opportunity. Crowson stole second and was then driven in by a Logan Harbin single to center field, to take the lead 2-1.
 
Mitchell Walker led off the fourth inning with a solo shot, his first of the year, to left field.
 
Two out hitting once again aided the Falcons in the fifth. This time, Harbin drew a four-pitch walk with two outs and then advanced to second on a passed ball. Khalil Bell tripled down the left field line, driving in Harbin. Walker earned his second RBI of the game as he drove in Bell on a single and pushed UM's lead to 5-1.
 
Montevallo's bullpen combination of Kaden Heatherly, Dawson Hargrove, Connor Phelan held UVA Wise off the board after Samuel's day was done, in the sixth seventh and eighth.
 
Following an error with two outs in the ninth, UVA Wise plated to runs, trimming the score 5-3. Trey Felker entered out of the pen and recorded the lone out and the save as UM held on to win 5-3.

UVA Wise grabbed a run back in the top of the third with a solo homer to even the score. In the bottom of the frame, UM answered first with a two-RBI double down the left field line from Ethan Huddelston to go on top, 5-3. Evan Liddie singled to bring in Huddelston, capping the three-run inning. The scoring spurt began with a two out walk, drawn by Landon Leake.
 
Following scoreless innings in the fourth and fifth, Montevallo added its third three-run inning. Barry Eiseman reached on an error that plated Huddelston. Liddie scored on an RBI single from Crowson and a bases-loaded walk for O'Connell pushed UM ahead 9-3.
