Averett Homers in Ninth to Defeat LC Baseball 7-6

Box score

DANVILLE, VA – Jake Loye hit a walk-off three-run home run Tuesday afternoon to give the Averett University baseball team a 7-6 non-conference victory over Lynchburg College.

The Cougars led 4-3 entering the ninth frame, but the Hornets plated three runs – one on a double from Jon Crews (Lynchburg, VA/Heritage) - and two more on a single from David Gaines (Lynchburg, VA/Jefferson Forest). After a hits-batman and a single in the bottom of the ninth, Loye hit his game-winning home run to left field with one out to end the game.

Eric O’Brien (Roanoke, VA/Cave Spring) and Jeff Taylor (Lynchburg, VA/Heritage) each went 3-5 for Lynchburg with a double. Crews, David Gaines (Lynchburg, VA/Jefferson Forest) and Kyle Bradley (Brookneal, VA/William Campbell) all had two hits.

Loye finished the game 4-5, and Ahmed Shelton had three hits for Averett (22-5).

Lynchburg (10-5) hosts King College Thursday at 2 p.m. in another non-conference game.
