Box Score HENDERSON, Tenn. - Josh Reynolds' grand slam highlighted a six-run first inning and
Amos Bingham was lights-out on the mound as the Freed-Hardeman Lions run-ruled No. 16 Union (Ky.) College, 10-0 in five innings, on Saturday afternoon at Carnes Field.
All of FHU's runs in the first inning came with two outs as freshmen
Joe Mike and
Robert Prieto hit back-to-back RBI singles before Reynolds launched a grand slam for his first career homerun.
Those six runs were more than enough for Bingham (2-0), who only allowed two hit and a walk in five innings of work and retired the final eight batters he faced.
Brian Bullard hit a sacrifice fly in the second inning to score
Noslen Labrada and got another RBI on a groundout in the fourth that brought in
Derek Bush.
Leamond Arthur added a run-scoring single in the fourth to give FHU a 9-0 lead.
Reynolds then opened the fifth inning with a triple and
Evan Mansell singled him in to send the run rule into effect.
The Lions pounded the ball to the tune of 12 hits, including a 3-for-3 performance by Labrada. Prieto, Mansell and Reynolds each had two hits.
FHU completes its four-game weekend with a nine-inning contest against Union (Ky.) tomorrow at 1:00 PM.
