EMU 17, Southern Virginia 13

How do you break a losing skid during which you averaged a respectable five runs per game?  Scoring 17 times should do the trick.  Eastern Mennonite did that Thursday, taking over with an eight-run sixth inning en route to a 17-13 victory over Southern Virginia.

The Royals committed three errors in the top of the second and fell behind their visitors 8-2.  Despite the early deficit, the men kept attacking and chiseled the lead down to 8-6 after three. Read more

EMU loses opener to Greensboro

Although the Pride were not getting extra base hits, they got enough hard-hit singles to score a run in the first inning and chase starter Chris DeWald (Williamsburg, VA/Lafayette) after two frames. Read more

EMU splits two

The Royals snapped a three-game losing skid Saturday, taking a walk-off win from Emory & Henry in the first game of an ODAC doubleheader in Harrisonburg.  The men had to settle for a split, however, as EHC stole the decision in the nightcap.

EMU 5, Emory & Henry 4

Game one was all about pitching, as Eastern Mennonite scored the only run in the first four innings with an unearned tally in the bottom of the first.

Remington Hedgepeth led off the EHC half of the fifth with a game-tying homerun.  He then put the Wasps in front with a two-run double in the sixth.  A third run scored on an error, and Emory & Henry had a 4-1 lead. Read more
