Wasps baseball splits with Virginia Intermont
Lee VanLear knocked in two runs with a single to give Emory & Henry’s baseball team a 3-2 walk-off win over the Cobras.
The
rally was ignited by a bunt single by Anthony Lowry and followed by a double to right field by Keith Fenner. Codie Mitchell was walked by Virginia Intermont to load the bases for E&H. VanLear, a senior, singled to center field to score Lowry and Fenner and clinch the Wasps’ (1-5) first win on the young season.
Jared Surber scattered five hits over five innings for Emory & Henry, surrendering only one earned run. Freshman Will Dingus picked up the win in relief.
The Cobras took the second game by a count of 14-5, but E&H junior Nick Windom and freshman Eric Houff hit back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to make things interesting. The home run was Houff’s first of his college career.
