DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - The third-ranked Embry-Riddle Eagles were left searching for their first win after Tuesday's doubleheader sweep by Brewton-Parker at Sliwa Stadium. The Eagles were shutout 6-0 in the day's first game, followed by a 6-3 loss in the nightcap, moving to 0-4 on the year, the first time in program history the Blue and Gold has remained winless through four games to open a season. BPC began its 2014 slate 2-0.

The Eagles will look to bounce back over the weekend when they open Sun Conference play on Friday at Southeastern, followed by a doubleheader with the Fire on Saturday afternoon.

Game 1 - Box Score

The Eagles' bats were silenced by Travis Higgs in the opener, collecting just six hits while being shutout for the first time in 2014. Despite a good outing from sophomore Corey Tufts, Embry-Riddle fell behind 2-0 in the sixth before BPC opened a 6-0 advantage with a four-run seventh.

Higgs held the Eagles hitless until Jake Cavender, making his Embry-Riddle debut, singled up the middle with two outs in the second, but the Baron hurler struck out the next ERAU batter to preserve the 0-0 tie.

Tufts was magnificent through five complete innings, allowing just two hits to the visitors in keeping the game deadlocked. The sixth proved to be a different story as the Barons scratched across a pair of runs on three hits and an Eagle error to take a 2-0 lead.

Embry-Riddle recorded a pair of hits and a walk to load the bases with two outs in the home half of the sixth, but Higgs ended the threat with a ground ball from Cavender that sent the Eagles back into the field.

Brian Johnson was roughed up for four runs in the seventh, the big blow coming off a bases-clearing double that pushed the BPC cushion to 6-0.

Evin Einhardt relieved Higgs to start the last of the seventh and despite giving up two runs, ended the game on a fielder's choice force out at second.

Six different Eagles got a base hit, but the Barons managed seven in the win.

Game 2 - Box Score

Game two turned a controversal overturning of a double-play call in the BPC third, a call that ultimately resulted in four runs being scored for the visitors.

Embry-Riddle struck first with a single run in the second on a Kyle Buchanan sacrifice fly that brought in Kyle Chastain from third, but with two men still on, a harmless fly ball to right ended the ERAU threat.

With Clayton Wagner on the mound for the Blue and Gold in the third the Barons knotted the score when a throwing error allowed a run to score. The bases were loaded with one out when a sharply hit ball was fielded by Cavender at short, flipped to Jordan Johnson at second for the force out before the senior second baseman threw the ball to Hunter Bruehl at first who stretched to make the out. The field umpire called the runner out at first for a big inning-ending double play, but after an argument from the BPC dugout, the call was overturned. In the next at-bat Wagner gave up a three-run home run that put the Barons up 5-1.

Embry-Riddle got a pair of runs back in the bottom of the third on an RBI walk from Bruehl and a ground ball from Kyle Chastain that scored Connor Williams from third.

David Lidyard came in for Wagner in the fourth, keeping the Eagles within 5-3 until the sixth when a sac fly accounted for the sixth run of the contest for the Barons.

ERAU put two runners on in the seventh, but Einhardt struck out Jordan Johnson to end the game for his first save of the year.

Cavender finished 3-for-4 for the Eagles in the loss.
