Trojans Open Season With Sweep Of PC

ANDERSON, S.C. - Freshman righthander Brady Peele scattered seven hits in six innings to lead Anderson University to a 4-2 victory over Presbyterian in the second game and a sweep of the doubleheader at a cold and windy Anderson Memorial Stadium Saturday afternoon. In the first game, Chris Pitts scattered six hits and John Mac White hit a two-run homer to lead Anderson to a 5-4 victory. Anderson scored two runs in the first inning of the second game. Tony Graham singled to start the inning. Matt Hill tripled to right center scoring Graham. Hill then scored on an infield single by Blair Carson. A home run by Presyberian's Cayce Carlson in the third inning, his second of the afternoon, cut the Anderson lead to 2-1. The Trojans pushed across two more in the fifth with Hill scoring on a wild pitch and an RBI double by Kyle Lewis. The Trojans were led in the second game by Lewis, who was 2-for-2 with a walk, and Graham, who was 2-for-4 with a run scored. Brandon Sheriff pitched the seventh to pick up his first save of the year for the Trojans. A two-run single by Carlson highlighted Presbyterian's three-run fourth in the first game to give the Blue Hose a 4-2 lead. Carlson also hit a solo home run in the top of the first. But Anderson bounced back with a three-run fifth to take the lead. After a leadoff single by Graham and two pop outs, White homered to right center to tie the game at 4. Carson followed White with a double to left center, and Carson moved to third on a throwing error. Carson then scored what proved to be the winning run on an infield single by Jessie Whiteside. Pitts, a sophomore from Easley, allowed six hits in seven innings, struck out two and walked two. The two teams will play a single game Sunday afternoon at Clinton.
