Newberry Baseball Handcuffs Lenoir-Rhyne, 3-0, In SAC Series Opener

Newberry, S.C. – The Newberry Baseball Team (29-19, 14-8) opened a South Atlantic Conference weekend series with a 3-0 victory over Lenoir-Rhyne (21-24, 6-16) Friday evening at Smith Road Complex.

The Wolves' Zack Kelly (Daleville, Va.) improved to 7-3 on the year after throwing a six-hit shutout.  Kelly struck out nine batters in handing the Bears their fifth straight setback.

Newberry held a 1-0 advantage entering the eighth frame after Tommy Passerello's (Davenport, Fla.) sacrifice fly in the fourth inning before plating two runs highlighted by Ben Herring's (Hopkins, S.C.) RBI double.

Lenoir-Rhyne senior Thomas St. Clair (Winston-Salem, N.C.) fell to 9-4 on the year despite allowing just two runs while pitching into the eighth inning.  Senior John Curtis (Lenoir, N.C.) struck out two batters in relief for the Bears.  

Lenoir-Rhyne and Newberry will wrap up the series with a doubleheader on Saturday afternoon beginning at 1:00 p.m., on the Wolves' home field.
