From staff and correspondent reports
THIBODAUX, La. - Nicholls State's Jason Wilkerson went 3 for 5 and drove in 5 runs to pace the Colonels to an 8-6 come-from-behind victory over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Wednesday night at Didier Field. The victory completes a two-game sweep for NSU over the Islanders.
Nicholls State, now 11-14 on the season, trailed 6-0 heading into the seventh inning. The Colonels plated five runs in the seventh and added three more runs in the eighth to complete the comeback.
Wilkerson keyed the five-run seventh with a three-run home run, his fourth of the season and second of the series.
With A&M-Corpus Christi leading 6-5 in the eighth, Wilkerson gave the Colonels the lead for good with a two-run triple. Doug Gill followed with a sacrifice fly to finish the scoring. Reliever David Bourg pitched a perfect eighth inning to improve to 3-5 on the season, while Alex Velazquez hurled a perfect ninth inning to pick up his sixth save of the season. Stephen Delgado of Carrolton took the loss in his first decision of the season.
