WASHINGTON, D.C. - Shenandoah University had another strong start to its non-conference baseball game Thursday afternoon, and this time it resulted in 15-10 seven-inning win at Catholic University of America.

Shenandoah (14-4) scored four runs in the first, three in the second, one in third and two in both in the fourth and fifth to outlast the Cardinals (10-8-1). SU scored the final runs of the game with three in the top of the sixth before the game was called after the seventh due to darkness.

Freshman Matthew Davis improved to 3-0 on the spring after picking up starter Jason Byrne two outs into the first. Davis allowed three runs on six hits and two walks in two innings of relief action - he was one of five Hornets pitchers to throw for coach Kevin Anderson.

Junior Ryan Anderson drove in what proved to be the game-winning runs with a two-run triple in the fifth. He plated both Daniel Ziccardy and Daniel Bowers, who each had reached on a walk.

Ryan Anderson was 3-for-5 with five RBI while David Jenkins was 2-for-3 with an RBI and three runs scored. Steven Todd and Matt McCormickeach drove in a pair of runs.

Kevin Conley was 4-for-4 and Matt Rosner 2-for-3 for the hosts.
