Baseball Cruises to Win in Opening Game of NCAA Regional

WINCHESTER, Va. - The Shenandoah University baseball program defeated Farmingdale State College 21-1 in game one of the NCAA Division III Baseball Championship Regionals at home on Friday.

The Hornets (36-10) put a six-spot on the board in the second and later added eight more in the fourth, helping them gain a big lead over the Rams (27-10). A seven-inning outing by Blaine Griffin (11-3) and seven RBI from Jaime Padilla assisted the Hornets in their opening victory.

Griffin is now tied with Greg Van Sickler and Chris Kees for the most wins by a Hornet pitcher in a single season.

RECAP

JP Williams led off the second inning with a single and was followed by an RBI triple to center field by Adham Sahebzadah to open the scoring in the regional. The Rams decided to intentionally walk Tyler Smith with one out, which allowed Carl Keenan to hit an RBI single through the left side, pushing the lead to 2-0.

A single by Christian Carver loaded the bases, which allowed Kyle Garrett to gain an RBI after being hit by a pitch. After the second out was recorded and a pitching change, Jaime Padilla lined a triple to center field, which cleared the bags and put SU up 6-0 after two. The Rams cut into their deficit with their lone run of the game in the third.

Walks to Carver and Garrett started the bottom of the fourth and allowed Padilla to line a three-run home run to right field for his sixth RBI of the day and a 9-1 SU lead. Hits by Williams and Sahebzadah gave Dillon Mauzy the chance to drive in a run on a sacrifice fly for a 10-1 lead in the fourth.

Now with two outs in the fourth, Smith was hit by a pitch, and consecutive walks to Keenan and Carver pushed in another run for SU, with Carver getting the RBI. The bases were now loaded, and Garrett hit a single through the right side, giving him two RBI, but an error by the Rams made it 14-1 for the Hornets.

More two out magic came for the Hornets in the fifth as a bases-loaded wild pitch scored Padilla and Keenan plated Williams and Smith for two RBI, giving SU the 17-1 advantage.

Prior to giving up a two-out single in the seventh, Blaine Griffin had retired the last 12 batters he faced in the lineup. The SU starter finished the game with seven innings pitched, five strikeouts, and only allowed three hits. Avery Schaeffer came in and pitched the final two innings for SU.

Shenandoah scored a run in the sixth and seventh with RBI from Padilla and Carver. Padilla's RBI gave him seven on the day, tying him for the second most in a single game for SU. 

In that seventh inning, Smith was hit by a pitch for the third time in the game. He's now been hit 25 times this season, tying him with Gavin Horning for the most in a single season for the Hornets.

The scoring by SU was capped in the eighth as Samuel Vandrey hit a two-out, two-RBI single, scoring Jonathan Stokley and Dominic D'Ottavio.

UP NEXT

Shenandoah plays Transylvania University at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow in the winner's bracket. The winner moves on to the Regional Championship on Sunday. The loser plays an elimination game at 6 p.m. tomorrow against the winner of Farmingdale St. vs Messiah.
