DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.- The #6 Florida SouthWestern Buccaneers suffered a shocking sweep on Saturday, falling twice on the road to the Daytona State Falcons, dropping game one 5-4 before being handed their first run rule loss of the season, 10-2 in game two to give the Falcons the series.

The Bucs had traffic the first two innings in game one, but strikeouts ended both threats and allowed Daytona to score the game's first run in the bottom of the 2^nd as a leadoff walk came back to burn the Bucs to give the Falcons a 1-0 lead.

FSW took advantage of back to back walks to start their half of the 3^rd as Aiden Talarico came through with a two run single to right to give the Bucs the lead before scoring himself later in the inning to make it 3-1 FSW at the end of 2 ½.

The Falcons got a run back in the bottom of the 3^rd but FSW responded with a run of their own in their next trip to the plate as Bishop Quarles legged out an RBI double to  make it 4-2.

The Bucs third leadoff walk in four innings once again came back to bite them in the bottom of the 4^th as Daytona scored for the third straight inning to make it a one run game once more at 4-3 after four.

The Bucs couldn't add any insurance in the 5^th and 6^th innings and it came back to sting them later on as with two outs and nobody on, Daytona put together a rally in the bottom of the 6^th to score a pair of runs and retake a one run lead of their own at 5-4.

Down to their final three outs, the Bucs went quietly in the 7^th as a strikeout, a groundout, and a fly out brought game one to a close with Daytona coming from behind to win 5-4.

The Bucs were outhit 10-4 in the game. Talarico accounted for three of the four FSW runs in the game, driving in two and scoring another. Judd Hildreth suffered his first loss of the season, allowing three hits and two runs in 2 1/3 to fall to 4-1 on the year.

The Bucs got out to another early lead in game two as Cris Walley ripped a two out single to right to bring home a run and give FSW a 1-0 lead in the 1^st.

FSW starter Parker Burgess worked around traffic in each of the first two frames and the Bucs rewarded him with another run in the 3^rd as Robbie Demetree picked up an RBI single to double the FSW lead to 2-0.

Everything was going good for the Bucs until the 4^th when it all fell apart. A pair of walks and a hit batter loaded the bases for the Falcons and another walk gifted Daytona their first run of the game. A single brought home two more to give the Falcons a 3-2 lead, but a ground ball on the infield looked like it had FSW out of any more trouble. The ball was mishandled, allowing the Daytona 4^th to continue and the Falcons made the Bucs pay for the extra out after that. A single back up the middle scored two more and the Bucs second error of the inning continued their house of horrors 4^th frame. Two more Daytona hits netted the Falcons three more runs and before it was all said and done in the inning Daytona had turned a 2-0 lead into a 9-2 Falcon advantage.

The Bucs never recovered as they didn't score again while Daytona used yet another FSW error to score in the 6^th to make it 10-2 before closing the Bucs out in the 7^th to kick in a shocking run rule to clinch the series.

Talarico and Tyler June led the Bucs offense with two hits each in the loss while both also stole a bag in the contest. Burgess took the loss on the mound, allowing just two hits, but walking six in 3 2/3 innings and allowing four runs to fall to 1-1 on the year. The Bucs bullpen allowed six runs in 2 1/3 innings of work, but all six were unearned due to FSW defensive miscues.
