The Golden Bears dropped 2-of-3 to Spring Hill this weekend, losing the opener 13-4 and the rubber game 7-6. But the middle game featured an epic comeback with Miles, an out away from defeat, came back to score 12 consecutive runs in a 15-14, 10-inning victory that brought an end to a three-game slide. Brandon Leroy (6-for-9, three doubles, five RBI, five runs) and Max Davenport (5-for-10, two triples, four stolen bases, six RBI) were the top offensive performers for Miles in the series.

GAME 1 - Spring Hill 13, Miles 4

The opener on Friday was a close affair before the Badgers scored five times in the sixth inning to take control of the contest. Three first-inning errors gave Spring Hill the lead but John Riley tied the game at one in the second with a RBI single that scored Michael Archie. SHC went on top again in the third but Davenport knotted knotted the game at 2 with a triple to center that scored Leroy.

Spring Hill led by a run to start sixth but scored five times off starter Kaleb Hellard and reliever Drew Shackleford to break the game open. An infield single by Davenport in the bottom of the sixth scored Leroy and a RBI single in the seventh by Mason McClammy plated Anthony Ramos, but the Badgers scored in each of the final five innings to win going away.

GAME 2 - Miles 15, Spring Hill 14 (10 innings)

Jordan Pearson got Miles on the board with a run-scoring single, followed by a two-run single from Leroy for a 3-0 lead after two innings. But those runs were long forgotten after Spring Hill scored five times in the third, four times in both the fifth and sixth innings, and added a single run in the top of the seventh. The Golden Bears were one out away from losing via run-rule before starting their epic comeback.

That out looked assured off the bat of Davenport as it went airborne towards center field. But the gusty winds on a cold 45-degree day that felt much colder pulled the ball away from Badgers outfielder Gabe Ragona, who could not secure the ball as it sliced towards left field. As it hit off his glove and caromed away, Davenport pulled into third with a triple that scored Kaleb Priest and Leroy to keep the game alive. Davenport would score on a wild pitch but it was still 14-6 and the Badgers still had a big upper hand.

But Judson McKinney gave the Golden Bears a chance with scoreless frames in the eighth and ninth out of the bullpen. Meanwhile, the Badgers bullpen was about to spring a massive leak.

The first SHC reliever, Anthony Aleman, walked the first three batters of the eighth. He was replaced by Ryan Lashley, who hit Ramos to score a run before uncorking a wild pitch that saw Pearson come in. Leroy would then walk to load the bases again and Lashley was gone, replaced by third baseman Norris McClure. After getting the first out, McClure gave up a 2-run double to Priest in front of a sacrifice fly by Davenport that scored Leroy. Another wild pitch saw Priest come home and it was 14-12 going into the ninth.

Trey Rutledge led off the ninth with a single and made it to third on a wild pitch with one out. He would score on an infield single by Leroy to draw the Golden Bears to within a run. Miles would load the bases with two outs, Spring Hill went to the bullpen - again - putting Solon White on the mound, and he would walk McClammy to score pinch runner Jackson Lindsey to tie the game at 14.

Logan Watts came in to pitch the 10th and put Spring Hill down in order. Pearson led off the bottom of the frame with a single but was erased on a fielder's choice. Ramos would single, sending Rutledge to second and he made his way to third on a flyout by Hagen Gringras. Ramos would then steal second, an important development because on the next play, Lindsey would bounce a ball up the middle. Ramos hesitated in front of the shortstop, who was moving to his left and was going to have a tough play throwing out Lindsey. But once he slipped and bobbled the ball, Lindsey was safe, Rutledge had scored, and Miles celebrated down the right field line after scoring 12 straight runs to complete the comeback.

GAME 3 - Spring Hill 7, Miles 6

The Golden Bears nearly pulled of a second come-from-behind win in the doubleheader nightcap on Sunday but came up just short.

Down 2-0 in the first, Miles jumped back in front in the bottom of the inning. A two-run double by Leroy tied tha game and he scored on a Spring Hill error for a 3-2 lead. The Badgers would take a 5-3 lead into the bottom of the fourth when another SHC error allowed Riley to score to halve the deficit.

Spring Hill would add single runs in the fifth and seventh to take a three-run lead into Miles' final at-bat, but the Badgers bullpen almost let go of the lead again. Bases-loaded walks to Davenport and Riley brought Gringras to the plate with a chance to complete the comeback. But he grounded out to shortstop, coming up just short of beating the throw that would have tied the game.

UP NEXT - Miles hosts a midweek clash with Montevallo on Tuesday at historic Rickwood Field. First pitch is slated for 1 p.m.
