Baseball Propelled to Victory Thanks to Ten Run Fifth

WINCHESTER, Va. - The No. 22 Shenandoah University baseball program defeated (RV) Messiah University 14-3 at home on Wednesday afternoon in seven innings, in the first meeting between the programs since 2019.

The Hornets (11-0) scored 10 runs in the fifth inning to propel them to victory over the Falcons (2-6). 

RECAP

Carl Keenan and Kyle Garrett reached base on the first two at-bats of the afternoon for the Hornets in the first inning. This allowed Jaime Padilla to hit his first home run of the season, a three-run bomb to left field, putting SU up 3-0 at the end of one.

The Falcons came back in the second and scored a pair of runs to cut their deficit to one. The first run came in on an RBI double to right center, with the latter run scoring on a triple to left field. The teams went scoreless for the next inning and a half, which allowed Messiah to tie the game at three in the fourth on a groundout to third.

An RBI by Garrett in the bottom of the fourth gave the lead right back to the Hornets, 4-3. 

In the bottom of the fifth, following leadoff walks to Padilla and Tyler Smith, JP Williams laid down a sacrifice bunt, which resulted in two errors and allowed Padilla to score. Matthew Atchley was hit by a pitch, loading the bases. Shenandoah kept the train rolling on the bases as the next four batters, Keenan, Garrett, Dillion Mauzy, and Padilla, reached base and gained an RBI.

With Shenandoah now up 10-3, Williams struck a single through the left side to plate two more runs for the Hornets. The scoring in the fifth was completed with a single to right field by Atchley, putting SU up 14-3.

Jake Holbert and Mauzy pitched the final two innings for Shenandoah and kept the Falcons from scoring again, completing the run-rule victory. Dominic D'Ottavio (1-0) pitched in the third and fourth innings, giving him the victory on the bump.

Williams had a perfect day at the plate, going 3-for-3 with two RBI and two runs scored. Garrett and Padilla joined Williams with multi-hit, multi-RBI games.
