WINCHESTER, Va. - Shenandoah University earned its second doubleheader baseball sweep in as many days Saturday afternoon with 16-7 and 3-2 victories over Elizabethtown College.

SU (4-0) found itself down 4-0 heading into the bottom of the third inning of game one as E-town (0-3) plated one run in both the first and second and two in the third, but found its offense in its third at-bat.

The Hornets tied the contest with four runs on six hits before breaking the game wide open two innings later.

Leading 6-4 after scoring a pair in the fourth, coach Kevin Anderson's squad erupted for eight runs in the fifth. SU sent 11 men to the plate in the frame and three of them - David Jenkins , Sam Fullerton and Steven Todd - drove in two runs each. Jenkins got his pair on a single up the middle while Fullerton had a double down the left field line and Todd a double to right.

The offensive onslaught proved more than enough for Drew Dobbins, who earned the win after giving up seven runs (six earned) on five hits in 6.2 innings of action. After Dobbins tired in the final inning, freshman Kyle Kilpatrick induced a groundout to short against his only batter to send the Blue Jays to defeat.

Jenkins and junior Ryan Anderson each had three hits and three runs batted in while Daniel Ziccardy was 3-for-3 with two RBI and two runs scored.

Shenandoah got the game-winning run of the nightcap in the bottom of the seventh inning when senior Scott Disch singled to right, was sacrificed to second and came home on Jenkins' single to right center.

This production made a winner of senior Nick Sborz, who worked a scoreless top of the seventh with two groundouts and a pop fly to short right.

The Hornets needed this final inning heroics after finding themselves tied at 2-2 when the 'Jays Dean Whetham plated Jon Kalejta from second base with a single over the first base bag to lead off the sixth.

After Elizabethtown sacrificed Whetham to second, freshman Hunter Calloway worked out of the jam with a strikeout and a groundball back to himself.

Fullerton led off the bottom of the inning with a single to right center and SU placed pinch runner Daniel Bowers in scoring position one batter later on a Steven Todd sac bunt. The strategy appeared to work perfectly as Matt McCormick sent a shot to the deepest part of the ballpark, but E-town centerfielder Mike Donahue staved off defeat with a diving, over-the-shoulder catch at the wall.

Sborz then came on to work that perfect seventh before turning the game over to his offense.
