BOX SCORE GAME #2

WILSON, N.C. -- Longwood University dropped a collegiate baseball doubleheader at Barton College Saturday in North Carolina, falling 11-6 in the first game and 7-4 in the second game.  It is the first twinbill swept from the Lancers since NCAA Division I James Madison University swept two games in Harrisonburg to open the season Feb. 14.  Longwood is now 30-11 after dropping three games to the Bulldogs this weekend.  The Lancers will play again Tuesday, April 13, hosting Virginia Intermont College for a 1 p.m. doubleheader at Lancer Stadium.

At BC in the opener, Longwood fell behind 5-0 in the 1st inning and never recovered as the hosts added five more runs in the 6th inning. Freshman Charlie Yarbrough/Richmond (Mills Godwin) (3-4, 2 RBI) led the Lancers with three hits, including his 7th home run in the 5th inning.  Senior Brian Medley/Halifax (Halifax Co.) (2-3, 2 RBI) also hit a home run in the 5th inning as the Lancers went yard back-to-back.  Junior Chris Balus/Newport News (Denbigh) (2-3) also contributed two hits to the effort.  Freshman Alan Moore/Richmond (Monacan) (7-3) took the pitching loss in relief, allowing five hits and five earned runs with one strikeout over the final 1.2 innings.

In the nightcap against the Bulldogs, freshman Tyler Childress/Montclair (Forest Park) (3-4) led the 10-hit attack with three hits.  Medley (2-4, 2 RBI) hit another home run for the Lancers, his team-best and career-high 15th homer this season, a two-run shot in the 3rd inning.  Medley now has 78 hits this spring, a new season school-record, increasing his career school-record to 247 hits.  Freshman Tyler Ames/Exmore (Northampton) (2-5) also had two hits.  Junior Darin Knicely/Elkton (Spotswood) (2-1) took the mound loss in relief, allowing one hit and one unearned run with one strikeout in 1.0 inning.
