PERKINSTON — Mississippi Gulf Coast did what it needed to Friday, picking up two wins over Mississippi Delta at Ken "Curly" Farris Field.
Garrett Gardner drove in five runs in a 15-5 win in five innings, and James Vines struck out six and allowed two runs in six innings of an 11-6 victory.
"Today was big," Bulldogs coach Zach Allen said. "It gets us to .500 in the conference going to the last 12. That's what our goal was. No matter how it happened or whatever it took, we needed to get to .500, and we handled our business today."

In the second game, Vines watched the Bulldogs put up seven runs in the sixth then took the seventh off.
