Offense explodes as Lions sweep double-header from Lane

HENDERSON, Tenn. - Official records do not presently exist for single-game team statistics for the Freed-Hardeman baseball program, but if they did a few would have certainly been set on Wednesday.

The Lions' offense exploded for a combined 50 runs as FHU took a double-header from Lane (Tenn.) College, 35-0 and 15-0, at Carnes Field in midweek action.

Seventeen different Lions record hits in game one as FHU pounded out 26 in all while drawing 12 walks. It also featured a rare appearance in the batting order for a few regular pitchers, including Hunter Newby who went 4-for-4 with a home run and six RBI.

The Lions (28-17) scored at least four runs in every inning, highlighted by a 10-run fifth. Joe Creasy (1-0) went the distance to pick up the win, striking out 11.

Freed-Hardeman picked up where it left off in game two, scoring four times in the first inning and cruising to the sweep. Pete Trollinger had a big game at the plate going 3-for-3 with a home run and five RBI. Jake Francis (3-0) earned the win, striking out 12.

The Lions continue their homestand on Friday, hosting Crowley's Ridge (Ark.) College in a double-header beginning at 5:00 PM.
