BRIDGEWATER, Va. - The No. 8/20 Shenandoah University baseball team snapped a two-game losing streak Thursday afternoon with an 11-8 non-league win at Bridgewater College.

BC (3-5) took a 3-0 lead after scoring two unearned runs in the first and an earned run in the second off of Hornets (4-3) starter Ben Hendrickson, but SU was able to rally in the final three innings of the contest.

Trailing 5-3 heading into the seventh, Shenandoah scored one in the seventh, three in the eighth and four more in the ninth to rally for the victory.

Bridgewater made things interesting by getting a pair off of reliever Kyle Scallion (1-0) in the bottom of the ninth, but Scallion picked up the win when catcher Keaton Neeb threw out Andy Chrismer attempting to steal second with no one on and two outs.

Chrismer had reached on an error.

Scallion went 3 1/3 for the win, allowing three runs (two earned) on one hit and two walks. He also struck out two.

The Hornets banged out 12 hits against four BC pitchers with Scott Van Dusseldorp going 3 for 5 with four RBI, Jesse Henry 2 for 5 with 3 RBI and Greg Van Sickler 2 for 5.

Van Dusseldorp drove in a pair on a fourth inning double, had an RBI single in the eighth and plated the final run with a triple in the ninth.

He needed only a home run to record the team's first cycle since 1996.

Henry got that home run, hitting a two-run shot in the ninth. He needed a triple to hit for the cycle.

Shenandoah is back in action on Friday at 3:00 in its home opener against first-year program Immaculata.
