Eastern Mennonite scored four runs during a two-out rally in the  seventh and limited the Hornets to just four hits in the upset.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the week the Hornets moved into the top spot in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.D3baseball.com\">D3baseball.com<\/a> national poll, but EMU made that stay a short one.<\/p>\n<p>Freshman starter <strong>Logan Toney<\/strong> (Chesterfield, Va.\/Manchester) and reliever <strong>Chris DeWald<\/strong> (Williamsburg, Va.\/Lafayette) limited the powerful SU offense early on,  but allowed single runs to score in three straight innings as the  Hornets were up 3-0 heading into the bottom of the seventh.<\/p>\n<p>After two quick outs, the Royals found a way to string their hits together. <strong>B.J. Mortimer<\/strong> (Mechanicsville, Va.\/Lee-Davis) and <strong>Ryan McAlister<\/strong> (Bridgewater, Va.\/Turner Ashby) each reached on singles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dylan Smith<\/strong> (Sterling, Va.\/Park View) slapped a base  hit through the left side to get the men on the board as Mortimer  scored. Designated hitter <strong>Beau Banglesdorf<\/strong> (Stafford,  Va.\/Mountain View) followed with a hard-hit double to left center,  chasing home both runners to tie the game at 3-3. More importantly,  Banglesdorf took third base when the Hornets&#8217; cut-off man threw home.<\/p>\n<p>Needing only a single to take the lead, <strong>Chris Harpine<\/strong> (Fredericksburg, Va.\/Colonial Forge) hit a roller towards first, but the  Shenandoah first baseman pulled up too early and the ball got past him,  allowing Banglesdorf to score the go-ahead run from third on the error.<\/p>\n<p>It looked like the Hornets might take the lead back in the eight as they  loaded the bases with a walk, error by DeWald and bunt single. SU&#8217;s  Mike Smith lofted a fly ball to center field, which Harpine caught and  gunned home. Dylan Smith grabbed the ball on the first-base side of home  plate and dove back, tagging out the runner in a collision at the  plate.<\/p>\n<p>DeWald coaxed out another fly ball to end the inning as Shenandoah left two men in scoring position.<\/p>\n<p>Clinging to the 4-3 lead, the Royals survived two deep fly balls to  centerfield in the ninth to get a 1-2-3 inning and seal the upset win.<\/p>\n<p>DeWald (1-1) entered the game in the sixth inning and earned the win for  his 3-2\/3 innings of work. He allowed one run on three hits. Despite  walking four batters and hitting two more, Toney only gave up two runs  on one hit in his 5-1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n<p>Eastern Mennonite outhit the Hornets 10-4 in the game, led by three  singles from Dylan Smith. Banglesdorf finished 2-4 with a pair of  doubles, two RBIs and the go-ahead run.<\/p>\n<p>McAlister also finished with a pair of singles.<\/p>\n<p>The win ends the five-game skid for EMU and bumps their record to 7-17.  No. 1 Shenandoah falls to 19-1. The Royals return to ODAC play on  Saturday as they host Guilford College in a twinbill starting at  12:00pm.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- start footer ssi --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Royals baseball squad found a big way to snap a five-game losing streak Friday, knocking off undefeated and No. 1 Shenandoah in Harrisonburg by a 4-3 score.
