The Whitesboro, Texas, native posted two multi-hit games in the series against Middle Tennessee, finishing with three hits and three RBI on Friday and two hits and four RBI on Saturday, including a grand slam. Gallaway recorded at least one hit in all four games and drove in a run in three of the four games.
