Shepherd Baseball Sweeps Salem

NUTTER FORT, W.Va. – Shepherd University (3-7) swept Salem University (1-6) in baseball doubleheader action at Frank Loria Field on Monday. Shepherd gained a 5-2 win in game one and added a 6-3 triumph in the nightcap.

Salem took a 1-0 lead in the first inning in game one on an RBI-single by Reese Rinna.

Shepherd plated three runs in the third on a solo blast by junior outfielder Bodie Pullen (Winchester, Va./James Wood) and a two-run single by redshirt freshman outfielder Colin Ahart (Pennsauken, N.J./St. Joseph Academy).

The Tigers cut the lead to 3-2 in the sixth as Hunter Rose singled and later scored on a sacrifice fly by Max Atkinson.

Shepherd answered back with a pair of runs in the top of the seventh as junior catcher Austin Sofran (Swedesboro, N.J./St. Augustine Prep) reached on a hit-by-pitch and later scored on a double off the bat of sophomore infielder Nathaniel Brookshire (Winchester, Va./Millbrook). Brookshire scored on a sacrifice fly by Pullen.

Sophomore pitcher Thor Hildebrand (Glen Burnie, Md./North County) (3.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 K, 1 BB) (1-0) gained the win. Redshirt-junior pitcher Oliver Leonard (Kennebunk, Maine/Kennebunk) (1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 K, 0 BB) picked up the save. Otho Savage (3.0 IP, 4 H, 3 ER, 3 K, 2 BB) (0-2) took the loss for Salem.

Rinna hit a two-run homer in the first in the nightcap to give the Tigers a 2-0 advantage.

Shepherd cut the lead to 2-1 in the second on an RBI-double by junior shortstop Ethan Burgreen (Winchester, Va./Millbrook).

After Salem added a run in the third, Shepherd plated a pair as redshirt-sophomore outfielder Ethan Jones (Oakton, Va./Oakton) belted an RBI-triple and later scored on a wild pitch to tie the game.

Shepherd took advantage of a hit, an error, two walks, and a balk to score three runs in the seventh and earn the sweep. 

Redshirt senior pitcher Eli Lam (Elkton, Va./Spotswood/Patrick Henry Community College) (2.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 4 K, 1 BB) (1-1) earned the win. Zack Kendall (2.0 IP, 1 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 0 K, 3 BB)) (0-1) took the loss for the Tigers.
