WINCHESTER, Va. - No. 8/20 Shenandoah University ran its
baseball winning streak to five games Monday afternoon with an 18-0
whitewash over Penn State - Harrisburg.
The Hornets (8-3) scored two runs in the first and four in the
second to take a commanding lead over the Lions (0-1).
Junior Greg
Van Sickler did most of the damage, driving in six runs on a 2
for 2 day that included a single and a triple in his official
at-bats. After driving in one run with his first inning single and
second inning triple, Van Sickler finished his day with sacrifice
flies to center in the fourth and fifth.
The fifth inning was his last as SU coach Kevin
Anderson used 20 field position players and three pitchers in
the contest.
The first of those hurlers, senior Jake Yocum, earned the
win by allowing two hits and three walks against six strikeouts in
6.0 innings.
Mike Smith pitched the seventh before Nicholas Gregg
recorded the final six outs.
In addition to Van Sickler's two hits, junior Kevin Brashears was
3 for 4 with three RBI and senior Scott Van
Dusseldorp 2 for 3 with three RBI.
Brashears had a triple and two doubles for his three hits and
scored the team's first run.
Every starter got a hit for the Hornets.
Shenandoah is back in action tomorrow beginning at 1:00 with a
non-league doubleheader against Albertus Magnus.
