A day after combining for 50 runs over 16 innings, it looked like EMU and Southern Vermont would settle into a low-scoring affair.\u00a0 Then the seventh inning happened as the two teams put up nine runs.\u00a0 The Royals held the edge again on Sunday, completing a three-game sweep of SVC with a 12-9 win.<\/p>\n

Each team brought in a solo run in the first, with Justin Rodriguez<\/a><\/strong> (Miramar, FL\/Pace) bringing in EMU’s on a sacrifice fly.\u00a0 The Mountaineers scored their second unearned run in the third, but the home team followed suit in the bottom of the inning when Chris Rodriguez<\/strong> (Miami, FL\/Pace) scored as Dylan Smith<\/a><\/strong> (Sterling, VA\/Park View) was caught in a run-down between first and second.<\/p>\n

Eastern Mennonite starter Casey Harlow<\/a><\/strong> (Louisa, VA\/Louisa County) continued sailing through the SVC lineup when he got some run support in the fifth.\u00a0 With an infield single and a pair of walks, EMU had the bases loaded with two away.\u00a0 Justin Rodriguez ripped a double to right field, plating a pair of runs.\u00a0 Smith was out at home trying to score from first, and was ejected for his collision at the plate, but the Royals had the 4-2 edge.<\/p>\n

Southern Vermont broke through in the seventh, tying the game with two runs on a bases loaded single.\u00a0 But Harlow limited the damage by getting a grounder to third for an inning-ending double play.<\/p>\n

Christian Rodriguez led off the bottom of the seventh by beating out a single, but he sat on second with two outs.\u00a0 The Mountaineers should have escaped unscathed, but the left fielder dropped a fly ball from Logan Toney<\/a><\/strong> (Chesterfield, VA\/Manchester) which would have ended the inning.\u00a0 A run scored to put the men ahead, but SVC imploded from there, committing two more errors and giving up three additional hits.<\/p>\n

By the time the dust settled on the long inning, EMU had sent 12 men to the plate and seven had scored, all unearned with two outs.\u00a0 The Royals led 11-5 and never gave up the lead.<\/p>\n

Toney, who had replaced Smith at first, led off the eighth with a bomb over the left field wall, and the Mountaineers added a grand slam in the ninth, but Eastern Mennonite held on for the 12-9 decision.<\/p>\n

The Royals only out-hit SVC by two, 15-13, but were helped by five Mountaineer errors.\u00a0 Chris Rodriguez<\/a> was a sparkplug from the bottom of the order, singling all four times he batted.\u00a0 The freshman scored three runs and knocked in one.<\/p>\n

Justin Rodriguez went 3-4 with three RBIs and a run.\u00a0 Toney scored twice and Ryan McAlister<\/a><\/strong> (Bridgewater, VA\/Turner Ashby) had two RBIs.\u00a0 Beau Banglesdorf<\/a><\/strong> (Stafford, VA\/Mountain View) and Michael Wade<\/a><\/strong> (Waynesboro, VA\/Fort Defiance) each added two hits to the balanced attack.<\/p>\n

Harlow threw seven strong innings, allowing just two earned runs to get his first win of the year.\u00a0 Joshua Martin<\/a><\/strong> (Crozet, VA\/Western Albemarle) pitched 1-1\/3 innings while Banglesdorf came in for the final two outs.<\/p>\n

After scoring 45 runs in the weekend three-game sweep of Southern Virginia, Eastern Mennonite is now 4-5 overall.\u00a0 Next up the men step into ODAC play, traveling to Randolph-Macon for a doubleheader on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
