FLORENCE, Ala. -- Senior Devan Traglia threw a nine-inning, complete-game shutout and Drake Tucker had three hits and drove in four runs as the University of North Alabama baseball team completed a three-game sweep of Christian Brothers, 8-0 at Mike Lane Field.

Riding an overall eight-game winning streak, UNA is now 31-15 overall and 21-9 in league play.

Traglia (6-1), allowed just four hits, walked three and struckout ten batters in recording the win.

UNA backed his efforts with two runs in the first inning, two in the third, three in the fourth and one in the seventh.

In the third, Lockett singled and Davis Elliott reached on an error. After a double-steal, Tucker drove in two more runs with a single to make it 4-0.

In the fourth, Ben Cooley walked and Peyton Thomas drove him in with an RBI-single. After Thomas stole second, Elliott doubled him in to make it 6-0. Tucker followed with an RBI-double to extend it to 7-0.

The Lions final run came in the seventh as Elliott got a lead-off double and scored when Brandt Holland grounded into a fielder's choice.

Tucker was eight-of-12 in the three game series with nine runs batted in. He ahs a current 11-game hitting streak and leads the Lions with 20 multi-hit games.

With Delta State's loss to Valdosta State, the Statesmen have just a two-game lead in the GSC standings with three to play. Either DSU (23-7) or UNA (21-9) will host the 2017 GSC Tournament on May 6-9.
