CONWAY, Ark. (March 17, 2007) -- The Edgewood College baseball team's bats came alive Friday as they combined to score 41 runs on 36 hits in a two game sweep over Central Baptist College of Arkansas. In game one, the Eagles (5-4) pounded out 16 runs en route to a 16-5 victory and followed that up with a 25 run performance in a 25-4 win over the Mustangs in game two.

In game one, the Eagles took a 3-2 lead into the sixth until they caught fire with a 13 run inning led by Cory McCullick (Hudson, Ill.) who drove in 6 runs by himself with a bases clearing triple and followed that up with a bases clearing double later in the inning. Alex Berta (Normal, Ill.) and Tyler Dahmen (Madison, Wis.) added fuel to the fire as Berta went 3-for-5 with 2 RBI's and Dahmen went 3-for-4 with 2 doubles and 2 stolen bases. Rick Walsh (Green Lake, Wis.) picked up his first collegiate victory as he went four and two thirds innings of two hit ball allowing only one earned run. Tim Richardson (Waunakee, Wis.) came in relief of Walsh and pitched a flawless inning and a third to maintain the 3-2 lead. Mark Belcastro (Downer's Grove, Ill.) finished the game for the Eagles in the seventh.

In game two of the double-header, the Eagles bats remained hot as they 14 runs in their first three at bats. McCullick again lead the charge as he tee'd off on his first home run of the year which bounced off a light post over the right field fence. The freshman tandem of Jimy Landwehr (Hartland, Wis.) and Steve Binder (Downer's Grove, Ill.) combined to bang out eights hits as Landwehr went 4-for-5 with 3 RBI's and Binder hit a perfect 4-for-4 with 3 RBI's of his own. Nate Meyer (Waterford, Wis.) also turned in a nice day at the plate as he went 2-for-4 with 3 RBI's and 3 runs scored. Nathan Marlowe (Milwaukee, Wis.) picked up his first collegiate victory as he threw the first four innings giving up an earned run and only one hit.

The Eagles sweep brings them back over the .500 mark as they look to improve on their 5-4 record Sunday as they are scheduled to play Rose-Hulman at 1:30 p.m. and Mt. Union at 4:00 p.m. before they head back to Wisconsin and begin Northern Athletics Conference play.
