Hornets Sweep Dips

WINCHESTER, Va. – Shenandoah University extended its non-league baseball winning streak to 11 games Saturday afternoon by sweeping Franklin & Marshall before 262 Bridgeforth Field fans.

SU (14-4) was a 3-1 winner in the opener before rallying to take a 15-13 victory in the nightcap.

In that second game, F&M (5-5-1) jumped out to an 8-0 lead by sending 10 men to the plate in its first at-bat.

Leadoff hitter Matt Will got things started with a double to center and then put a cap on the scoring in his second at-bat by hitting a grand slam to dead center.

The Hornets chipped away with one run in the bottom of the frame before getting back into it with a five-run second.

In the third, junior Kevin Brashears put SU up with a three-run HR to left. The dinger would be the first of two he would hit in the contest.

The Diplomats scored three times in the fifth to take an 11-9 lead before Shenandoah finally took control for good with five runs in its turn at bat.

Brashears, leading off, hit a solo shot to start it before designated hitter Justin Woods and pinch hitter Chris Ferry had run scoring singles.

Junior Kyle Scallion, the sixth SU pitcher on the day, pitched the final 2 2/3 to earn his second win in as many decisions. He allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits.

Matt Valente (0-2) was tagged with the loss after allowing five runs (four earned) on five hits in 2.0 innings.

The two starting pitchers in the game lasted a combined five outs.

In game one, junior Greg Van Sickler  (4-1) allowed 10 hits, but the only run the Diplomats could score was a Bill Murray solo HR to lead off the second.

Shenandoah, which was held to four hits, scored unearned runs in its first two at-bats before pushing across an earned run in the fifth.

Seniors Jon Holcomb and Adam Delauter had two hits apiece for the victors with Delauter driving in the team's second run and Holcomb the third.

Van Sickler had four strikeouts and walked just one in 6 2/3 innings of work. With the bases loaded and two outs in the seventh, Van Sickler turned it over to Patrick Moore for the final out of the contest.

Moore induced a game-ending fielder's choice from JT Triantos to earn his first save of the year.

Mike Duranti (1-1) was saddled with the opening game loss. He allowed three runs (one earned) on four hits and no walks in 6.0 innings.

These two teams complete their weekend series with a 1:00 Sunday contest.
