MONROE, La. – 17 total runs scored by ULM baseball (13-9, 3-0 Sun Belt) led the way in a wild 17-12 win over New Orleans (9-14, 3-6 Southland).
 
All but one batter in the starting lineup produced a hit for the Warhawks as the team combined for 14 hits and 13 RBI.
 
The Privateers struck first at the top of the first inning to take a 2-0 lead. Two straight doubles to start led to a two-RBI single by Miles Curley to put the away team in front. The Warhawks loaded the bases at the bottom frame with a Davis Mauzy walk, Micah Dean double and Bryce Blaser walk. Jake Haggard stepped up to the plate and drove a two-RBI single to tie the game up. A fielder's choice plated another run to give the home team control after one.
 
UNO again scored two runs at the top frame of the second, using back-to-back base hits to take a 4-3 lead. Zach White led off the bottom of the second with a double, but three straight outs ended the scoring opportunity and kept the Privateers in front.
 
After Mauzy extended his hitting streak with a leadoff double, Dean walked before Blaser singled through the right field side, scoring a run to tie the game. With two runners in scoring position, Haggard produced another two-RBI single to give ULM a 6-4 advantage. Marcus Aranda followed that up with his third home run of the season, marking his second in as many games, and put two more runs on the scoreboard.
 
UNO responded in the next frame with a run scored to make the margin three. An error-filled bottom of the fourth inning produced four more runs for the Warhawks. Mauzy scored for the third time in the game with a throwing error before a wild pitch allowed Dean to score. A sequence that let Blaser and Haggard score brought two more across the plate, making it a 12-5 contest.
 
A run from the away team in the top frame of the fifth put up the sixth run of the ballgame for UNO. In the next inning, a single and a groundout allowed a run to score, putting two more runs on the board for the Privateers, resulting in a 12-8 ULM lead. Dupont and White singled at the bottom of the inning, giving the Warhawks the runs back. A groundout into a double play allowed Dupont to score from third to cap off a three-run inning.
 
With two runners on second and third in the next frame, Curley lined a triple to left center, scoring both runners. A sacrifice-fly brought home another run as the Warhawks' lead stood at 15-11. The home team couldn't answer at the bottom of the inning to keep the score the same going into the eighth.
 
Collin Husser drilled a homer to left field, bringing the UNO score to 12 runs, trailing by three. A bases-loaded walk and a fielder's choice score two runs back for ULM in the bottom frame. Three more outs at the top of the ninth secured the win and the season sweep of the Privateers.
 
Haggard led the team in RBI with four on the night, while Aranda and Blaser also had multi-RBI performances. Dean, Haggard, Dupont and White all totaled two hits. Mauzy also collected another hit, extending his streak to 22 games.
 
The Warhawks are back in action when they hit the road to Mobile, Ala. for a weekend series against South Alabama.
