AMERICUS - Left-handed starting pitcher Dylan Brown threw seven scoreless innings on Sunday to guide Georgia Southwestern to a 3-0 win and a Peach Belt Conference series victory over Flagler College at Hurricane Stadium.

The last time GSW tossed a shutout in PBC play was almost a year to the day when the Hurricanes tallied a 1-0 victory on April 18, 2015. The opponent was Flagler. The starting pitcher was Brown.

GSW evened its overall record this spring to 21-21 and improved to 5-19 in the PBC. Flagler dropped to 23-17 overall, 11-13 in conference play. GSW took two of three over the weekend against the Saints to claim its first conference series win since March 2014, when the opponent was Lander University.

The Hurricanes improved to 17-0 this season when holding opponents to less than six runs.

Evan Alderman ripped the game-winning single in the third inning to plate Davey King.

Back-to-back RBI doubles in the fifth inning gave the Hurricanes some breathing room. Alderman dropped one in the right field corner to score Devyn Newberry and Alex Kranick followed on the next at bat with a shot to the gap in left center field to bring around Alderman. 

Brown (4-0) scattered five singles over his seven innings on the hill, walked two and struck out six. Earl Dupree was strong coming out of the bullpen as he held the Saints to a pair of singles over two innings, did not walk a batter and struck out two for his first save of the spring.  

Alderman finished with two hits, two RBIs and a run scored. Dakota Long went 2-for-4 and Newberry extended his season-best hitting streak to nine games. 

Bryce Evans had his second straight two-hit game for Flagler and Bobby Bassler added two singles. The Saints had seven hits in the finale, all singles. 

Saints starting pitcher Dustin Dye (4-5) exited with two outs in the fourth inning after allowing the back-to-back RBI doubles. Dye struck out one and surrendered seven hits and three runs while on the mound. Michael Hanke was called on to close out the fifth and Kyle Schackne kept it a three-run game with three scoreless innings of relief. Schackne gave up two hits, did not walk a batter and struck out two.

The Hurricanes wrap up the home portion of their schedule on Wednesday when they host Albany State at 5 p.m.
