Lynchburg, Va. -- The University of Lynchburg baseball squad claimed two well-earned wins over ODAC foe Ferrum on Saturday afternoon at James C. Fox Field.

In the first game, the No. 2 Hornets (24-4, 11-2) struck early with a run in the first inning, as Sean Pokorak's single to left field brought in Brandon Garcia. Lynchburg added another in the second, with Joe Munitz's single driving in Eric Hiett for a 2-0 lead.

Ferrum quickly answered in the third with a two-RBI single from Baxter, tying the game at 2-2. However, Lynchburg regained control with a run in the fifth, as Pokorak's single to left-center plated Munitz. In the sixth, Garcia delivered a key triple, driving in two runs to extend the lead to 5-2. Ferrum added a run in the seventh, but Lynchburg held on for the 5-3 win.

In Game 2, Lynchburg found productive offense in the fourth inning, highlighted by Conner Moore's three-run homer that scored Logan Webster and Ryder Warren. Maddox Tsutsui made a daring play, stealing home for a 4-1 lead.

In the sixth, Benton Jones tripled in two more runs to increase the lead to 6-1. Ferrum managed a late home run from Markowitz in the eighth, but Lynchburg responded with a sacrifice fly from Tyler Howlett, scoring Garcia for a 7-2 lead. Ferrum added one more in the ninth, but it wasn't enough as Lynchburg closed out the game for a 7-3 win.

Next on the slate for the Hornets is the team's Code Red game against Hampden-Sydney on Tuesday, April 8 at 3 p.m.
