CARY, N.C.—Eastern University Baseball played Lynchburg
College at the USA Baseball Complex on Friday after snowfall made Lynchburg's
field unplayable.
One really bad inning spoiled the Eagles' first game and
they fell 11-1. In the second game, the Eagles fell behind by five runs and
stormed back with three runs in the top of the seventh but were unable to
complete the comeback. Lynchburg took game two 6-4.
In game one, the Eagles were held to two hits, and Lynchburg
exploded with 10 runs in the third.
In the second game of the doubleheader, Lynchburg led by
three after four innings. Eastern posted its first run in fifth on an infield
error. Lynchburg made it a 5-1 game in the fifth after a two-RBI double and
then added another run in the sixth.
Eastern's Joe Grato hit a bases-loaded single that scored
Ryan McMenamin and Tommy Strazza. Angelo Kelly was gunned down at home on the
play. Timmy Gorton later knocked in Grato from second with a base hit. The
Eagles posted three runs in the inning, but the comeback fell short.
Eastern is scheduled to play next at Johns Hopkins
University on March 10 at 3 p.m.
