Lions pound 17 hits, hammer CBU 15-3

Box Score HENDERSON, Tenn. - Derek Williford threw five scoreless innings and Willy Hernandez hit a grand slam to lead the Freed-Hardeman Lions to a 15-3 blowout of Christian Brothers (Tenn.) University, 15-3, on Tuesday evening at Carnes Field.

Williford (1-2) picked up his first win over the year after allowing no runs on six hits while fanning three batters. The Lions, meanwhile, pounded out 17 hits with every starter getting at least one. FHU was also 8-for-8 on stolen base attempts in the game.

Freed-Hardeman got on the board in the bottom of the second on an RBI single by Angel Nicolas and a sacrifice fly by Noslen Labrada. The Lions plated three more in the next inning thanks to Brian Bullard's three-run homerun, his eighth of the year.

With Williford cruising on the hill, FHU put the game out of reach with five-run fourth inning highlighted by Michael Clayton's two-run single. The Lions then put an exclamation point on the win in the sixth with five more runs completed by Hernandez's grand slam, his 12th homerun of the season.

CBU managed three runs in the top of the seventh off of reliever Les Rodriguez with Joseph Kaminski hitting a two-run, two-out homerun.

Leadoff hitter Greg Allen went 3-for-5 for the Lions with a pair of steals while Hernandez, Leo Alvarez, Michael Clayton, Derek Bush, Daniel Peck, and Noslen Labrada each had two hits apiece. Bullard and Hernandez both drove in four runs.

FHU plays at Lindsey Wilson (Ky.) College on Wednesday before hosting first-place Cumberland (Tenn.) University over the weekend in a key TranSouth Conference series.
