HENDERSON, Tenn. - The No. 22 Freed-Hardeman Lions continued their trend of dominant pitching but also mixed in a lot of hitting in a double-header sweep of Harris-Stowe State (Mo.) on Friday afternoon at Carnes Field.

The Lions won the first game, 9-3, before a dominant performance on the mound by Chris Hatfield highlighted a 14-0 win in the nightcap.

FHU (6-0-1) made the most of its hits in both games, scoring a total of 23 runs on 22 hits. The batters' patience and selectiveness at the plate also played a factor as the Lions drew 17 walks in the double-header.

In game one, FHU blew it open in the fifth inning. After HSSU scored once in the top of the inning to tie the game at 2-2, the Lions responded with four runs capped off by a two-run home run from Bobby Seda.

Seda added a two-run double in the sixth and finished the game 4-for-4 with five RBIs.

Dan Creighton (2-0) picked up the win in 5-1/3 innings of work, allowing one earned run on four hits.

The Lions' bats kept going in game two, but it was the performance of Hatfield that stole the show. The junior struck out 14 batters in a seven-hit shutout while issuing no walks. It marked the second complete game for Hatfield (2-0), who has yet to allow an earned run.

FHU scored seven runs in the first three innings, then added six in the fifth. Connor Kohlscheen went 3-for-4 with four RBIs while Ryan Huber went 2-for-3 with three RBIs.

The series concludes tomorrow with a double-header starting at noon. Ryan Fares (1-0, 1.29) and Derek Emily (1-0, 1.42) are the expected starters on the mound.
