DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - The 15th-ranked Embry-Riddle baseball team moved two wins closer to capturing the program's 15th regular season conference title with a pair of Saturday shutouts, 8-0 and 10-0 over Florida Memorial. The Eagles (30-14, 19-2) earned the 21st consecutive 30-win season with the series sweep of the Lions (8-29, 3-16) while putting their magic number to capture the conference crown at two.

Stetson Nelson and Corey Tufts threw seven-hit and two-hit shutouts respectively while the ERAU offense recorded double digit hits in both contests, stretching its streak to six straight games with at least 10 base hits. Tufts retired the final 18 batters of the second game for his third shutout of the year.

Neither game was close as the Eagles scored early in both contests and added plenty of runs over the course of the afternoon. Liam Goodall paced the Eagle offensive effort with six hits, three RBIs and four runs while Kevin Lindheim had four hits, six RBIs and three runs for the Blue and Gold.

Embry-Riddle travles to No. 16 Brewton-Parker on Tuesday, April 8 for a doubleheader beginning at 3 p.m. before trekking to Miami Gardens, Fla. for a Sun Conference series against St. Thomas (April 11-12).
 
Game 1 – Box Score
 In the day's opener, the Blue and Gold scored two in the first and never looked back, cruising to an 8-0 victory to claim the series over FMU.

Nelson issued a leadoff walk before a base hit glanced off his leg in the first, but the Lions elected not to bunt and Nelson got out of the frame with a strikeout and 6-4-3 double play.

Kyle Chastain walked and moved to third on a failed pickoff attempt before Goodall collected the first of his three RBIs on a single to right. The right fielder misplayed the ball and Goodall ended up at third, scoring on a Lindheim groundout for a 2-0 ERAU lead.

Kyle Buchanan extended the Eagle lead to 3-0 with a double in the second, plating Hankamer all the way from first.

Nelson faced the minimum in the second, third and fourth, and ERAU got two more runs on a Goodall triple to right center, his fifth of the 2014 season, scoring Buchanan and Hunter Bruehl for a 5-0 advantage.

Nelson worked quickly through the top of the seventh and the Eagles put the game out of reach with a three-run eighth as Lindheim, Jake Cavender and Jordan Johnson all recorded RBI base hits.

Despite giving up three hits in the eighth, Nelson was able to minimize the damage with a strikeout and groundout, getting a 9-3-5 putout as a Lion baserunner was caught off third following a base hit.

Bruce Wong worked around a hit by pitch and two-out single, stranding two Lions with a line out from Brian Gonzalez to end the game.

Nelson (8-2) pitched eight innings, scattering seven hits and two walks while striking out six. Eight Eagles collected a hit, led by Goodall's 4-for-5 game, falling just a home run short of the cycle.

Game 2 - Box Score
The series finale was a run-rule shortened affair as the Eagles scored six early runs in the first two frames and four over the next four innings to take the 10-0 decision in seven innings.

Tufts allowed one of two base hits in the first, but stranded the runner with a fly out off the bat of Chris Perez. Eduardo Delgado struggled on the mound for FMU as the Blue and Gold scored three runs in the first on just one hit while the Lions committed two errors.

Florida Memorial got a leadoff single in the second, but Tufts would not allow another the rest of the game.

With a 3-0 lead, the Eagles put another crooked number on the scoreboard as Chastain, Lindheim and Darryl Knight all recorded RBIs in the frame for a 6-0 ERAU cushion.

Delgado and Tufts pitched scoreless thirds, but Phil Chen, after relieving Delgado in the fourth, allowed an Eagle run when Lindheim singled in Chastain for a 7-0 lead.

After the leadoff single in the top of the second, Tufts was untouchable, retiring the final 18 batters of the contest as the Eagles touched home twice in the sixth and once in the seventh to account for the 10-0 final.

Tufts (8-2) won his fourth straight start with a seven-inning complete game shutout, his second complete game in as many starts.

Lindheim was 3-for-4 with four RBIs and two runs while Goodall finished 2-for-3 with two runs in the win.
