No. 7 Baseball Lights Up Scoreboard in ODAC Sweep

WINCHESTER, Va. - The No. 7 Shenandoah University baseball program powered past Averett University on Saturday at home in a conference sweep.

A 14-run first inning in game one helped the Hornets (18-3, 5-3 ODAC) take game one 23-4. The Cougars (6-13, 1-6) then left 15 runners on base in game two, with the Hornets winning 8-5.

The Hornets came to the plate 18 times in the first inning, scoring 14 times, on nine hits, with two errors by the Cougars. Kyle Garrett had four RBI in the inning thanks to two doubles. Jaime Padilla and Carl Keenan each walked home a run with the bases loaded on their second trip to the plate in the inning.

The Cougars added a run in the second inning, but Tyler Smith quickly made it an 18-1 game with a three-run home run to left field in the bottom of the inning.

Padilla hit an RBI double in the third, which scored Christian Carver. A few batters later, Padilla scored for the 20th SU run of the game on an RBI single from JP Williams. Padilla and Keenan added their second RBI walks of the game in the fourth, pushing SU's lead up to 21.

Averett added three runs in the fifth, while the Hornets scored their final run of the game in the sixth as Samuel Barber scored during a Nolan Kruse at-bat.

Blaine Griffin (6-0) picked up the win on the mound with five innings of work, while Tyler Lowery allowed zero hits in his two innings.

GAME TWO RECAP

Averett grabbed a 2-0 lead in the first, but Shenandoah rebounded with a three-run second inning. Kyle Garrett drew a walk with bases loaded for the first run, prior to Adham Sahebzadah tying the game with a sacrifice fly to left field. Finally, a misplay by the Cougars' catcher allowed Dillon Mauzy to score for the Hornets.

In the bottom of the third, Sahebzadah added his second RBI of the game with a two-out single to score Mauzy. In the fourth, after stealing second, Carl Keenan stole third and came around to score on a throwing error by Averett. SU led 5-2 at the end of four.

Two two-out singles in the sixth cut the Cougars' deficit to one. With the bases loaded in the bottom of the inning, Mauzy delivered a two RBI single to extend the lead to three for the home team. Then Tyler Smith was able to score during the next at-bat with an RBI single by Garrett.
