WINCHESTER, Va. – No. 18/RV Shenandoah University kept is ODAC baseball record perfect on the season with a 21-6 win over Eastern Mennonite Thursday afternoon.

The win completes the season sweep for SU (13-2, 8-0 ODAC) over the Royals (12-9, 0-6).

Coach Kevin Anderson's club banged out 22 hits in the win with all nine starters getting at least one hit.

Leadoff hitter Billy Arens had three hits and scored five runs, J.J. McDaniel had three doubles among his four hits and he, Corbin Lucas and Michael Paul all drove in four runs each.

Dan Powers had the only home run of the game, a two-run shot in the fifth.
