Box Score

LYNCHBURG, VA - Strong pitching and timely hitting led to an Averett University victory Tuesday over the Lynchburg College baseball team, 2-1.

Kyle Bradley (Brookneal, VA/William Campbell) went 2-for-3 and stole a base to lead the Hornets offense and starting pitcher Evan Durrer (Charlottesville, VA/Charlottesville) only gave up two runs in six innings. However, Averett’s Ahmed Shelton kept the Hornets at bay, giving up only one run in nine innings, scattering five hits and six walks.

The Hornets (8-3) had a number of opportunities to score in the ninth, but only came away with one run. Jeff Lincoln (Stafford, VA/North Stafford) drove in the lone Hornet run on a sacrifice fly, but the Hornets had two on with no outs and ended the game with the bases loaded.

The Hornets travel to Winchester, VA Wednesday to battle Shenandoah University at 2 p.m. and host North Carolina Wesleyan this Friday on Fox Field at 2 p.m.
