GREENSBORO, N.C. - The Shenandoah University baseball knocked off USA South Conference leader Greensboro for the second consecutive time Sunday afternoon, defeating the homestanding Pride 8-5.

Shenandoah (13-8, 6-6 USA South) wins its second USA South Conference series as a result. Greensboro (16-9, 6-3 USA South) now must hope that Methodist beats Ferrum Sunday afternoon in order to stay in first place in the seven team league.

Sunday's contest went the same as Saturday's game two - GC jumped out the early lead only to see the Hornets rally with a couple of big innings in the middle of the contest.

Trailing 3-0 after the hosts scored two runs in the first and one more in the second, Shenandoah backed up a two-run third with a three-run fourth. The Hornets took the lead for good when freshman Sam Fullertonplated David Jenkins and Steven Todd with a home run to center. Jenkins and Todd reached on a pair of infield singles.

After the Pride rallied for pair of runs against reliever Taylor DuFrene, junior Nick Sborz got the final four outs of the game to earn his seventh save of the season. Sborz has now set the career record for saves at Shenandoah in just a half of a season in the closer role.

Fullerton led the offense with a 3 for 5 day that included the home run and a double while Adam Duckett, Bobby Anthony, Daniel Bowers and Matt McCormick all had two hits. McCormick also drove in three runs - he got the rally started in the fourth with a two-run single.

Junior Keith Fritz improves to 2-2 with the victory - he gave up three runs (one earned) on nine hits and one walk in five innings.
