DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - The NAIA No. 7 Embry-Riddle Eagles completed a three-game sweep of Sun Conference foe Southeastern on Saturday with a pair of close victories over the Fire, 4-3 and 3-1. The Eagles (6-1, 3-0) walked off for the second time in their young season in the day's opener before riding the left arm of sophomore Stetson Nelson in the series finale to send the Fire (4-7, 0-3) to their third consecutive loss.

Embry-Riddle travels to Mt. Vernon, Ga. on Tuesday, Feb. 12 for a non-conference doubleheader against rival Brewton-Parker beginning at 3 p.m.

Game 1
Chad Modomo allowed just one earned run to cross the plate over the course of 7.1 innings, but the Eagles were unable to put enough runs on the board before he exited the game in the eighth. However, the Blue and Gold continued the trend of scoring late with a walkoff win in the bottom of the ninth to secure the series win over Southeastern in Saturday's first contest.

Matt Jacobs dribbled a single just past the diving Southeastern second baseman with two outs in the ninth and Liam Goodall was waived around third and somehow was able to touch home around a good block by the Fire catcher Robert Fram when the throw came in from shallow right field, giving the Eagles a 4-3 win in dramatic fashion.

The Eagles struggled offensively to begin the game, not reaching the scoreboard until the bottom of the fifth when they trailed 1-0. SEU plated a run in the second when Bryan Muniz flew out to center field, allowing Corbin Weeks to tag from third and score an unearned run against Modomo and the Eagles.

As Modomo kept the game within reach, the Blue and Gold finally broke through when Tyler Robbins kicked off the fifth with a double down the right field line, moving to third when Jordan Johnson singled up the middle to put runners on the corners with no outs. Adam Cellini grounded out to third in the next at-bat, but Robbins was able to score on the play, tying the game at 1-1.

Two batters later, Jeff Lemon singled to center, bringing in Johnson from second and giving the Eagles their first lead of the day.

The Fire quickly answered by knotting the score at 2-2 when Weeks doubled in Dylan Siegel in the next half-inning.

Embry-Riddle loaded the bags in the sixth but was unable to re-take a lead and Modomo got out of a two-runner jam in the seventh when Phil Delisle smacked a line drive right back to the senior from Winter Park who calmly put it away to end the threat.

Southeastern claimed a 3-2 lead in the eighth after chasing Modomo from the game when Siegel reached second base with just one out in the inning. An errant throw by catcher Adam Cellini brought in Siegel's pinch runner Cory Light a few batters later as Eric Green was on the mound for the Eagles. But Green got out of the frame without any further damage by striking out back-to-back Fire batters for the final two outs in the inning.

Robbins and Johnson proved to be the catalysts for another Eagle run in the bottom of the eighth after Robbins singled and later moved to second before scoring on Johnson's hit to left center, tying the game at 3-3.

Green worked around a single in the top of the ninth to send his team back to the plate with a chance to walkoff against the Fire, and they did just that when Goodall was called safe after sliding around the tag by Fram on Jacobs' RBI single.

Green (1-1) earned the win, throwing 1.2 scoreless innings of relief with a pair of strikeouts. Modomo finished with 7.1 innings of work, allowing three runs (one earned) on six hits with two Ks.

Johnson was 3-for-5 with an RBI and run while Robbins finished 2-for-3 with two runs scored.

Game 2
In the series finale the show belonged to Stetson Nelson, a sophomore transfer from Winthrop University. Nelson, making his second appearance for the Eagles, was magnificent, allowing just four hits and one unearned run in a complete game victory for the Blue and Gold. The Eagles broke their streak of six consecutive one-run games with a two-run win in the twin bill's conclusion.

The Eagles took an early 1-0 lead when Cellini plated Jeff Lemon with a sacrifice fly in the second against SEU starter Dimitri Nunez.

Southeastern got their only run in the fourth when Daniel Mims scored Light from third on a RBI groundout after Light, courtesy running for Steve Arango, was the beneficiary of an Eagle error.

Nelson set down the next seven Fire batters and in the bottom of the sixth the Eagles would give him all the runs he would need.

Kevin Lindheim singled with one out before moving to second on a wild pitch. A throwing error put Lemon on first and moved Lindheim to third for Goodall. The British Columbia native singled to right center, scoring Lindheim and moving Lemon to second. Jacobs came through with a double down the right field line that plated the third and final ERAU run of the game.

Light collected a hit in the seventh, but Nelson got the next eight SEU batters to go down easily before Light again recorded a two-out knock in the ninth, but it was the sophomore lefty that ended the game by getting cleanup hitter Daniel Mims to ground out to third base to end the contest.

Nelson (1-0) tossed 9.0 innings, giving up just four hits and one unearend run while fanning a career-high eight batters on just over 100 pitches.

Both Goodall and Jacobs recorded two hits and each had a RBI while Lemon scored twice.

The Eagles are tied with Ave Maria, St. Thomas and Thomas at 3-0 atop the conference standings.
