Lenoir-Rhyne Baseball Splits South Atlantic Conference Doubleheader With Anderson

Anderson, S.C. – No. 22 Lenoir-Rhyne (13-3, 2-1) and Anderson (5-9, 1-2) split a South Atlantic Conference doubleheader Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium.  The Trojans prevailed in the first contest by an 8-6 score while the Bears salvaged the split, 8-0, in the nightcap.

Game One – Anderson 8, Lenoir-Rhyne 6
The Trojans' rallied from a 6-3 deficit to take the first game of the doubleheader over the Bears.  Anderson took the lead for good with a pair of unearned runs as part of a three-run sixth inning.

Lenoir-Rhyne senior second baseman David Newcomer (Archdale, N.C.) hit a solo home run in the second inning and finished with three hits and three runs batted in to lead the Bears' offensively despite the loss.

Lenoir-Rhyne junior Landon Whitson (Marion, N.C.) fell to 1-1 after taking the setback while Andrew Dill (Hilton Head Island, S.C.) (1-1) earned the win after coming on in relief and pitching close to four scoreless innings to go along with five strikeouts for the Trojans.

Anderson's Avery Sneed (Zirconia, N.C.) hit a solo home run while William Thomas (Irmo, S.C.) totaled three hits and three runs batted in to lead Anderson offensively.

Game Two – Lenoir-Rhyne 8, Anderson 0 (seven innings)
Lenoir-Rhyne senior John Curtis (Lenoir, N.C.) (1-0) threw a one-hit shutout in addition to 13 strikeouts as the Bears were able to salvage the split.

Lenoir-Rhyne junior third baseman Fred Wadsworth (Columbia, S.C.) opened the scoring with an RBI double in the second inning before hitting a solo home run, his team-leading fifth of the year, in the fourth frame to lead the Bears on offense.

Lenoir-Rhyne junior outfielder Marcus Shoemaker (Colfax, N.C.) added a solo home run as part of a three-run seventh for the Bears, who shut out the Trojans for the second time in three games.  In addition, six of Lenoir-Rhyne's 10 hits were extra bases.

Anderson's Chris Ayers (Carnesville, Ga.) fell to 2-1 after suffering the loss.

Lenoir-Rhyne returns home to face Tusculum in a non-conference regional game on Tuesday at 5:00 p.m., while Anderson plays Limestone on the road on Tuesday at 5:00 p.m.
