Game 1 - Boxscore

Junior Chad Modomo continued the excellent start to his Eagle career as he pitched a complete-game shutout of FMU in a 12-0, run-rule shortened, victory. Modomo now has two complete games and two victories in two starts for the Blue and Gold. Modomo was aided by a 12-run showing from the Eagle offense, their second-highest scoring output of the season.

Modomo gave the Eagles momentum in the first when he stranded Lion's shortstop Ruddy Ruiz at third by inducing a groundout from the DH Casey Johnston. ERAU used that momentum to score two runs in the bottom of the frame, both on an Ian MacGeorge double down the left field line that plated Tyler Robbins and Chris Page, the later all the way from first base.

Embry-Riddle did more damage in the second, scoring three times, two of the runs unearned, to increase their advantage to 5-0. Adam Cellini reached on a throwing error by the FMU third baseman, allowing Mike Gragilla to score after he had singled to right field and moved to second when JT Warmoth was hit by a pitch. Robbins brought in the second run with a groundout to Ruiz at short, scoring Warmoth from third, and Frankie Arias collected an RBI with a sacrifice fly to center field, plating Cellini's courtesy runner, Greg Smith.

The Eagles tacked on four runs in the third, all unearned thanks to three FMU errors. But, errors played no part in the fourth when the Blue and Gold struck for their final three runs, including two on Warmoth's double to left center, his second two-RBI double in two innings.

With a 12-0 lead, Modomo cruised, not even allowing a hit over the final three innings of the game.

18 Eagles saw action, including Mike Huber who got his first at-bat of his Embry-Riddle career in the game.

Modomo finished with seven innings of work, giving up four hits and one walk while fanning a pair of Lions. Warmoth was 2-for-2 with four RBIs and two runs scored, Robbins went 1-for-2 with two RBIs and a run, while MacGeorge was a perfect 3-for-3 with a pair of RBIs.

Game 2 - Boxscore

The finale of the three-game series proved to be another offensive showcase for the hosts, as they plated 10 runs on 11 hits, while junior Kevin Maloney held the Lions to four runs on six hits to secure his first win of the season.

ERAU took a 1-0 lead in the first thanks to a Ben Kline single through the left side that scored Robbins, but Florida Memorial plated four runs on four hits and an Eagle error in the top of the third to take a 4-1 lead.

Embry-Riddle responded by tying the score at 4-4 in the bottom of the frame. Smith started the inning with a single, then then stole second and scored on a Robbins' double to left field. Arias recorded the first triple of the season for the Eagles in the next at-bat, bringing home Robbins, and the Caracas, Venezuela native scored the tying-run on a Kline sacrifice fly to center field.

Maloney gave his team a big shutdown inning in the fourth, retiring all three Lions in order to send his squad back into the dugout with momentum.

Smith brought in Gragilla when he reached on a fielder's choice in the fourth with the bases loaded to give ERAU a one-run lead. Robbins got his second RBI of the game when he singled to the third baseman, plating Warmoth and extending the Eagle lead to 6-4.

Maloney worked two perfect frames in the fifth and sixth, and the Blue and Gold gave him some more cushion with two runs in the home-half of the sixth. Kline doubled home Robbins after the junior from Port Orange reached base via the hit-by-pitch and moved to second when Arias beat out an infield bunt. Arias scored on Page's sac fly to deep right field, pushing the Eagle lead to 8-4.

Maloney gave way to Antwan Brown in the eighth inning, and Brown continued his work, pitching 1.1 innings of perfect baseball.

The Eagles would score their final two runs in the bottom of the eighth, including Garrett Gee's sacrifice fly that brought in David Belardes.

Eric Green saw his first action as an Eagle in the ninth, getting the final two outs of the contest, and securing the 10-4 victory.

Maloney (1-0) threw seven innings in the victory, giving up four runs (three earned) on six hits while striking out two.

Arias was 4-for-4 in the game, collected an RBI and scoring two runs. Robbins finished 3-for-4 with two RBIs and three runs scored, while Kline drove in three runs on two hits.
