Box Score WASHINGTON, D.C. – No. 14/14 Shenandoah University headed
down the homestretch of its longest road trip of the baseball
season Tuesday afternoon with a 17-3 non-league win at Catholic.
Shenandoah (24-6) won for the third time in four games on what
will be a five-game road trip with the victory at CUA (12-6).
This season-long road swing concludes Wednesday at
Elizabethtown.
Junior Ben
Hendrickson (3-0) was the winning pitcher – he tossed the
first 8.0 innings of the contest and had eight strikeouts against
11 hits and two walks.
Senior Scott Van
Dusseldorp led the Hornets offense with a 4 for 5 day that
included a three-run HR while junior Kevin Brashears had
three hits in six at-bats from his leadoff spot.
The two men combined for six of the team's 19 hits on the
day. Eight of the nine starters had at least one hit and
seven (Brashears, Van Dusseldorp, Greg Van Sickler, Jon Holcomb, Cory Nelson, Jesse
Henry and Jake Pendergraft)
had at least two.
Van Dusseldorp's dinger is his 10th of the
season and the 27th of his career. His next home run
will tie him with Geoff Williams '00 for the all-time lead in
that category at SU.
The 10 HR this season also ties Williams' 1998 campaign as
the third best in school history. Van Dusseldorp is five home runs
behind Jeremy Schutt '01, who had 15 round-trippers in 2000.
