The No. 1 ranked Hinds Community College baseball team swept East Central Community College in a doubleheader in Decatur on Wednesday to move to 20-1 overall and 7-1 in conference play.
With the win, the Eagles are now 56-14 over their last 70 games dating back to March 1, 2014.
Hinds won game one, 3-2, in 11 innings and game two, 4-3, at ECCC yesterday afternoon.
Marshall Boggs (Cleveland), who had two hits in the opener, hit a go-ahead home run in the top of the 11th inning, and Austin Sanders (Madison) threw shutout baseball over the final three innings and picked up six strikeouts to move to 2-0.
Hunter Bell (Vicksburg) also had two hits in game one, including a two-run single in the second inning, to help lead the Hinds offense.
Randy Bell (Woodville) was stellar in his start on the mound, throwing six innings and allowing only one earned run while striking out three and scattering six hits.
In game two, it was Houston Case (Brookhaven) who followed suit, throwing 6.1 innings and striking out 10 hitters while allowing only one hit.
After the Eagles took a 4-0 lead into the bottom of the seventh inning, things got elevated a bit, as the Warriors had bases loaded with two outs, trailing 4-3. However, Sanders struck out Cody Daigle to end the game, and in the process, picked up his seventh save.
Jonathan Washam (Sterlington, La.) was the heavy hitter in the nightcap, going 3-4 with three RBI to lead the offensive attack.
The Eagles played a single, nine-inning game at Baton Rouge (La.) Community College on Friday, March 20 and came away with a 7-3 victory over the Bears.
Hunter Bell was a sparkplug for the Hinds offense, as he finished 3-4 with a run scored.
Tyler Cox (Brandon) hit his second home run of the season and picked up three RBI to give the Eagles some insurance runs in the middle of the contest.
Matt Jones (Madison), Chase Lunceford (Clinton), Kyle O'Keefe (Madison) and Jordan Washam (Sterlington, La.) all had two hits versus BRCC as part of the Eagles' 13-hit attack.
