LC Box Score vs. EHC (Game One)
LC Box Score vs. EHC (Game Two)

                LYNCHBURG, VA - The No. 14 Lynchburg College baseball team fought off a pesky Emory & Henry College squad as LC registered a twin bill sweep of the Wasps in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) openers for both teams from Fox Field Saturday.

                LC (9-4/2-0 ODAC) posted two three-run innings in taking the first contest of the afternoon 6-2. Emory & Henry (2-6/0-2) opened the scoring with a single run in the top of the third on a Lee VanLear RBI single. The Hornets responded with a three-spot in the bottom of the third, with the big blow coming on a two-run single by Jeff Taylor (Lynchburg, VA/Heritage).

Cameron Grant connected for his first homer of the season Saturday.The Hornets put the game out of reach with three more in the bottom of the fifth, as junior Cameron Grant (Lynchburg, VA/Heritage) blasted a two-run homer to highlight the scoring. Bryan Breedlove (Suffolk, VA/Nansemond-Suffolk) went the distance for the Hornets, allowing one earned while striking out five. Junior David Gaines, Jr. (Lynchburg, VA/Jefferson Forest)  was two-for-four, while Taylor and Matt Painter (Danville, VA/Dan River) each finished with a pair of base hits.

In the nightcap, LC pulled away with five runs in the seventh inning in cruising to an 11-4 win. The Hornets led 5-1 going into the top of the fifth, but three runs from the Wasps cut LC's advantage to one at 5-4. Lynchburg answered with six runs over the sixth and seventh, as Kyle Bradley (Brookneal, VA/William Campbell) and Chris Colquhoun (Virginia Beach, VA/Salem) both went deep.

All but one starter had a base hit for Lynchburg in game two, led by Gaines, Jr. and Andre Carr (Chesterfield, VA/Manchester) who both went two-for-three with two runs scored. Grant was two-for-four with two RBI in the second contest, while Colquhoun had three RBI and two runs scored.

Junior hurler Conner Thompson (Solomons, MD/Reservoirs) upped his record to 4-0 after going five and third innings, striking out 10 while allowing four earned. Ryan McDonough (Centereach, NY/Our Savior) was brilliant in relief, surrendering just one hit in two and two-thirds frames of work.

Emory & Henry was led offensively by Anthony Lowry, who posted multi-hit games in each contest. Garrett Price was three-for-four in game two, while VanLear and Marc Ailstock were two-for-three in the opener.

Lynchburg will continue its busy week with a single outing tomorrow afternoon against the Roadrunners of Ramapo College at 1 p.m. on Fox Field.
