WINCHESTER, Va. – No. 14/16 Shenandoah University ran its baseball winning streak to five games Wednesday afternoon with a 9-6 non-conference victory over visiting Frostburg.

Shenandoah (21-5) scored two runs in the second and another in the fourth before FSU (12-6) tied it with three runs in the fifth off of Hornets starter Ben Hendrickson.

After Patrick Moore  (1-0) ended the threat by getting right fielder Matt Ridenour to ground to second, SU retook the lead for good by scoring an unearned run in the bottom of the frame.

Senior Adam Delauter reached on a one-out single through the left side and advanced to third on Jon Holcomb's single through the right side.

Two pitches later, Bobcats starter Greg Ross (1-1) attempted to pick off Holcomb at first. The throw scooted all the way to the fence, allowing Delauter to trot home from third and Holcomb to advance 90 feet from the plate.

Shenandoah added three runs in the sixth and another two in the seventh to expand its advantage to 9-3.

Frostburg made things interesting by scoring three runs on four hits, the first a solo HR from Matt Greene, in the eighth, but Hornets closer Kyle Scallion worked a clean ninth to preserve the victory.

Chris Ferry scored what proved to be the winning run in the seventh when Kevin Brashears beat out a one-out fielder's choice. The inning ended on the play when freshman Keaton Neeb tried to score all the way from second base.

Moore earned the win by retiring the only batter he faced. Bobby Stefanowicz pitched the sixth and seventh before Scallion came on four batters into the eighth.

Holcomb, Ferry and Greg Van Sickler all had two hits apiece for the victors.

Shenandoah takes to the road tomorrow for a non-league contest at Randolph-Macon.
