WINCHESTER, Va. – Shenandoah University won its second baseball game in as many days Wednesday afternoon in a 6-2 non-league victory over Division II Columbia Union.

Freshman Daniel Eadie (3-0), who was pressed into the pitching start when junior Taylor DuFrene re-injured his back just prior to the game, scattered seven hits and two unearned runs in 7.1 innings to earn the victory.

After Eadie tired midway through the eighth, sophomore Matthew Davisgot the final five outs to earn his first career save. 

The Hornets (22-13) got their first run in the bottom of the first with a two-out single up the middle from freshman Scott Van Dusseldorp. Van Dusseldorp plated David Jenkins , who had reached on a fielder's choice, from second base. 

Two innings later, Shenandoah added two more runs (both unearned) on just one hit and a costly Pioneers error. Scott Lambert led off with a walk and was sacrificed to second by Jenkins, who reached when the throw over to first sailed down the rightfield line.

The error went for three bases, scoring Lambert and putting Jenkins 90 feet from home.

One batter later, senior Ryan Anderson lofted a sacrifice fly to center to score Jenkins.

After Columbia Union made things interesting with a pair of unearned runs in the top of the seventh, SU answered with three runs in its turn at-bat. Freshman Nick Gregg, in just his second start of the year, drove Jenkins and Anderson with a single to center. Those two reached via a walk and bunt single, respectively.

Lambert finished the day 3-for-4 with Van Dusseldorp and Gregg getting two each apiece. The Hornets had nine hits on the day.

Keith Goldsmith took the loss for CUC. He allowed that first inning run on two hits and departed before the start of the second.
