Virginia Wesleyan Tops Hampden-Sydney 6-5 in Thrilling Night Cap

LYNCHBURG , VA –  Virginia Wesleyan downed Hampden-Sydney 6-5 Friday night to remain undefeated in the 2006 Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) Baseball Tournament.

Virginia Wesleyan jumped on HSC starter Jimmy Greene for a pair of runs in the second inning to open up an early 2-0 lead.  Matt Hudgins doubled to start the inning and advanced to third when the ball was mishandled in the outfield.  Allred followed with a single to plate Hudgins and eventually scored on a double off the bat of C.J. Rhodes.

Hampden-Sydney cut the deficit to 2-1 in their half of the second inning after Josh Michael drew a lead-off walk from VWC starter Wayne Renfrow.  Michael advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by David Toney and eventually scored on a passed ball.

The Tigers took the lead at 5-2 with four runs in the home-half of the fourth-inning on the strength of a run scoring bases loaded walk, a fielder’s choice and a Toney RBI single.

In the VWC sixth inning, Mike Cardwell singled with one out, moved to second on a failed pick off attempt by Greene and scored on a double by Brent Vuyovich.  Vuyovich moved to third on a single to the right side by Dan Sellers and came around to score on an RBI single by Hudgins.  A sacrifice fly off the bat of Allred to score Sellers knotted the game at 5-5.

With the bases loaded and one-out in the top of the ninth inning for the Marlins, Phil Cadle laid down a squeeze bunt that was mishandled allowing Allred to score the go-ahead run.

Chris Rivera set down the side in the ninth inning to secure the win for the Marlins.  Rivera tossed two perfect innings to even his record at 4-4.

Greene took the loss that drops his record to 5-3.  Greene went 8.1 innings, giving up nine hits and five earned runs while striking out seven.

With the win, Virginia Wesleyan moves on to face Bridgewater who is also undefeated at 11:00 a.m.  Hampden-Sydney will take on Guilford at 3:00 p.m. in an elimination game.
