OPA-LOCKA, Fla. - The eighth-ranked Embry-Riddle baseball team secured the 21st 30-win season in program history on Saturday afternoon with a doubleheader sweep of Florida Memorial, 7-3 and 10-1. The Eagles (31-10, 14-3) will wrap up their Sun Conference series with the Lions (8-33, 2-18) tomorrow with a single game at 12 p.m.

Game One - ERAU 7, FMU 3
The Eagles hung a crooked number early on in the series opener, but needed Eric Green's sixth save of the season to escape a bases-loaded jam in the bottom of the ninth to win 7-3.

Both Mike Hardison and Kevin Maloney kept the game scoreless in the first inning, but the Blue and Gold plated five runs in the top of the second against Hardison to stake Maloney to a comfortable lead.

Adam Cellini started things off with a one-out single before Liam Goodall and Mike Gragilla followed suit as Connor Williams, Cellini's courtesy runner, touched home for the first Eagle run of the day. Jordan Romero collected a base hit to score Goodall before Colt Hankamer did the same. Jordan Johnson kept the Eagle rally going with a single to left center to bring in two runs and when Jeff Lemon singled to right, Hankamer moved to third then scored when the Lion right fielder misplayed the ball.

With a 5-0 lead Maloney surrendered just one hit over the next three frames, and even when the Lions managed to put two hits together in the fifth, Maloney was able to strand both runners on the bases by getting a weak pop up that he fielded himself to end the frame.

FMU finally got on the board in the sixth with a pair of runs on three hits, but neither team was able to score again until the top of the eighth when Gragilla recorded an RBI double, scoring Kyle Chastain, and pushing the ERAU advantage to 6-2.

Maloney faced the minimum in the home-half of the eighth and the Eagles tacked on another insurance run in the ninth as Kevin Lindheim scored on a throwing error by the Lion shorstop when Chastain collected an infield single.

Ronnie Lozada got into some trouble in the last of the ninth, loading the bases after one run scored, forcing Green to enter and throw two pitches to Alejandro Diaz who flied out to right to end the game.

Maloney (7-1), earned his 26th career win, tossing eight innings, scattering seven hits and two runs while striking out eight. Green earned the save in 0.1 innings of relief.

Gragilla and Johnson drove in two runs while Gragilla, Chastain and Lemon all recorded a pair of hits. Every Eagle that had an at-bat collected a base hit.

Game Two - ERAU 10, FMU 1
Embry-Riddle scored twice in the first before blowing the game open in the sixth to come away with a 10-1 win in the day's final contest. Stetson Nelson was impressive in 6.1 innings on the mound, allowing seven hits, no runs and two walks while striking out seven.

Lemon got the scoring started in the top of the first with a triple down the right field line, chasing home Hankamer after the Eagle second baseman singled and moved to second on Johnson's sacrifice bunt. Lemon scored a few pitches later when Lindheim grounded out to second.

Cellini threw out the first of two base runners in the first to end the frame, and Nelson stranded two in the second by fanning Kyle Perez with runners on the corners.

Sergio Gonzalez settled down after his bumpy first, keeping the Eagles from extending their lead until the fifth when Lemon singled in Romero, pushing the lead to 3-0.

Embry-Riddle blew the game open with a four-run sixth, ending Gonzalez's day and bringing the score to 7-0.

Romero singled in a run before Lemon collected an RBI walk when Chris Berman issued the base on balls with the bases loaded. Lindheim got his second hit of the day and first of the game with a double down the left field line that scored two Eagles and gave them a seven-run cushion.

Nelson tossed his sixth shutout inning before the Eagles scored twice more in the seventh, one on a Gragilla groundout and the other when Johnson singled up the middle.

Dylan Demarest entered for Nelson in the seventh, throwing 1.2 innings of work without giving up a hit.

Lemon got his second RBI walk of the contest in the ninth to account for the 10th ERAU run of the game, and Benjamin Antwan-Brown ended the game in the bottom of the frame with a strikeout of Andy Ruiz.

Nelson (6-1) threw 6.1 innings, striking out seven to earn the victory.

Lemon got four RBIs on two hits and two walks, while Lindheim brought in three runs and Romero finished 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBIs.
