The duo not only held the Eagles to one unearned run and five hits but combined to strike out 13 and walked two in the contest.

Center fielder Derek Orndorff and second baseman Cameron Foster each hit a three-run home run for the Flames. Orndorff’s fourth home run in the fourth inning gave

Liberty the lead, while Foster hit his first collegiate home run in the fifth inning.

Winners of four straight contests, Liberty improves to 4-1 on the season. Winthrop falls to 2-3.
