WINCHESTER, Va. - Shenandoah University opened up its 2007 baseball season Saturday afternoon by sweeping a non-league doubleheader from Elizabethtown College.

Shenandoah (2-0) got a complete-game victory from junior Taylor DuFrene to win game one, 3-0, before posting a 2-0 win in the nightcap.

Sophomore Rhys Wolford earned that game two victory by scattering four hits over five innings before turning it over to David Frelin for the final six outs.

Frelin, a junior, walked one and struck out two to earn his first career save. He allowed one runner to get into scoring position in the sixth, but worked a perfect seventh to put the finishing touches on the sweep.

SU needed just 90 minutes to win each game - DuFrene allowed three hits and two walks against a pair of strikeouts to throw his first career solo shutout.

He got all of the offense he would need in the second inning when senior Ryan Anderson led off with an infield single and scored from second on Adam Kessel's single up the middle. Anderson had advanced to second base on his hit when Elizabethtown third baseman Dean Whitham threw his throw across the diamond past first baseman Jared Morris.

Shenandoah added a pair of insurance runs in the sixth to give DuFrene some breathing room, but he worked past a leadoff walk by inducing a line-out double play to end the game. The twin-killing was one of three the Hornets turned on the day.

The last double play, in the fifth inning of game two, might have been the most important play of the afternoon. After Blue Jay leadoff hitter Tom Semanek led off the frame with a single up the middle, designated hitter Sam Snyder hit a sinking line drive that was caught on a dive by SU right fielder Scott Lambert.

Semanek, thinking the ball was trapped, tried to advance to second base where he was tagged out by shortstop David Jenkins . The Jays loaded the bases after this play on two walks and a single, but Wolford worked out of the jam by striking out Adam Sheibley looking on a 3-2 pitch. 

Coach Kevin Anderson's club scored both of its game two runs in the second inning. Kessel led off with a single to left center and moved to second when Lambert singled up the middle. Both runners were sacrificed up a base before leftfielder Preston Tarleton drove them home with a single to center.

Anderson and Kessel each had two hits on the day.
