Anderson, Newberry Split Again

NEWBERRY, S.C. - For the second straight day, Anderson University and Newberry College split a doubleheader Sunday afternoon. Newberry won the first game -- its home opener at the Newberry High School field -- 5-2 and Anderson (5-9) claimed the second half of the doubleheader, 8-1, to leave the season series knotted at two games apiece. Newberry (3-11-1) opened scoring in the first game, getting back-to-back doubles from Anthony Dillenger and Joel Keefe. Dillenger came in off Keefe's shot to center, and Keefe scored when Brandon Manasa fired a ground ball that was too much for Anderson's second baseman Tony Graham to handle. The Trojans tied the game at two in the fourth inning off a two-run dinger from Blair Carson. The Indians went to work again in the sixth, loading the bases with two singles and a fielder's choice and only one out. A wild pitch by Nate Miller moved the runners around. Dillenger and Keefe went to work again, each singling to drive in the fourth and fifth runs, respectively. Matt Cote picked up the win for Newberry to improve his record to 2-2. Miller took the loss for the Trojans. Game two was all Anderson as the Trojans scored in all but two innings, doing the most damage in the fourth. Second baseman Cody Nye led off with a single, and moved around the bases via a steal, a balk, and a passed ball. Nye was three-for-three in the nightcap. John Mac White was hit by a pitch, and scored off throwing errors on two different pickoff attempts at first. Graham and Jonathan Pitts had RBI singles in the inning to create the other two runs. Anderson starting pitcher Aaron Griffith allowed only two hits in six innings and permitted no Indian past second base. Two Trojan double plays helped his cause. Cory Welch got Anderson's final three outs, but blew the shutout when Matt Webb sent his 1-1 offering over the left center field wall for his first round-tripper of the year. Danny Bertleson took the loss for his only decision this year. 2006 Anderson University Baseball Statistics
