HOW IT HAPPENED

Game 1

• E&H got an early 1-0 lead against Carson, the Game 1 starter, but the Hornets struck back with a four-run second. Freshman center fielder Carrson Atkins (Charlottesville, Va.) put the Hornets ahead with a two-run double. Sophomore first baseman Avery Combs (Lynchburg, Va.) made it a 6-1 Lynchburg lead with his own two-run double an inning later.

• The Wasps cut the lead to 6-3, but Pond's two-run home run in the sixth extended the lead to 8-3.

• Fiedler homered an inning later, and the Hornets quelled a few E&H rallies in the late innings to preserve the win.

Game 2

• Lynchburg took a 3-0 lead in the third thanks to a two-run single off the bat of freshman catcher Kaden Warren (Berryville, Va.) followed by an RBI double from freshman third baseman Garrett Jackson (Virginia Beach, Va.).

• The Wasps tied the game at 3 in the fourth thanks to some Lynchburg fielding miscues.

• The Hornets retook the lead in the fifth thanks to Carson's three-run homer, the first of his career.

• Lynchburg added to the lead in the eighth on a bases-loaded, three-run double from freshman first baseman Cameron Lane (Manassas, Va.) and again in the ninth to take a 12-3 lead.

• Junior right-hander Hunter Campbell (Lynchburg, Va.) was dazzling, tossing eight innings and allowing just one earned run. Campbell struck out seven in his second win of the season.
