WINCHESTER, Va. – No. 17 Emory & Henry tossed a pair of two-hitters Saturday in sweeping an ODAC doubleheader from Shenandoah University.
Â
The Wasps (15-3, 5-1 ODAC) won 9-0 in the opener before completing the sweep over SU (4-14, 1-9) with a 7-0 victory in the nightcap.
GAME ONE
A seven-run third for the Wasps, along with two in the fifth, resulted in a 9-0, 5 inning victory for Emory & Henry.
Â
Shenandoah was held to just two hits in the contest, a
Sammy Amateau leadoff single in the third and a
Tiffany Bower single to right in the fourth.
Â
Morgan Henley (0-1), who came on four batters into the first, took the loss. She allowed seven runs on eight hits and one walk in 2 1/3 innings. Starter
Megan Scalley came back on for Henley in the fourth and allowed two unearned runs on two hits and five walks in 2 2/3. Three of those five walks were in the first.
Â
Cameron Derr (8-1) was the winner for E&H. She gave up both hits, walked six and struck out five in 4.0 innings.
GAME TWO
The Hornets and Wasps were locked in a one-run battle for six innings only to see E&H score six runs on seven hits in the seventh and take the 7-0 victory.
Â
Shenandoah again had a tough time at the plate as Emory & Henry hurler Alex Braun tossed a complete game two-hitter.
Â
The senior struck out nine and walked two in improving to 7-2 this spring.
Â
Allie Schey led off the SU first with a double to left but the Hornets did not get another hit until
Tiffany Bower had a single to center in the seventh.
Â
Kayla Stephenson (3-5) took the loss. She allowed three runs on 10 hits and two walks in 6 1/3.
NOTABLE
Emory & Henry has announced its intention to reclassify its athletic program to NCAA Division II. Should that request be granted this summer, E&H will depart both the Old Dominion Athletic Conference and Division III.
UP NEXT
Sunday's scheduled 2 p.m. ODAC doubleheader versus Ferrum is postponed because of the expected poor weather to hit the Northern Shenandoah Valley tonight into Sunday morning. That DH will be made up on Sunday, Apr. 18. The Hornets host Eastern Mennonite on Tuesday in a 3 p.m. ODAC double-dip.
