BOCA RATON, Fla. - The 2016 season came to an end for the Embry-Riddle baseball team on Saturday as the Eagles dropped both ends of a twin bill at Lynn, 25-11 and 11-4. The Fighting Knights (29-21) swept the weekend series as the Eagles finished their inaugural season in NCAA II at 28-22. As a provisionary member of both NCAA II and the Sunshine State Conference, Embry-Riddle is ineligible for postseason competition.

Game 1 - LU 25, ERAU 11
In a season of highs and lows, Saturday's opener proved to be one of the later as the Fighting Knights scored 25 runs against the Eagles, breaking the previous record (21) of most runs scored against ERAU in program history en route to claiming the series. Lynn, a day after hitting seven homers against the Blue and Gold, struck for six long balls and six doubles amongst the 23 total hits for the Fighting Knights.

Lynn took control of the game early, scoring six runs in each of the first two frames to take a commanding 12-0 lead over the visitors and despite ERAU climbing back into it with seven total runs in the fourth and fifth, Lynn's lead was never in danger after a seven-run fifth that made it 21-7.

The Eagles used seven pitchers in the game while the Eagle offense was paced by Tobias Moreno, Joshua Garcia and Dalton Hughes who each had three hits. Matt Jacobs and Hughes both drove in three runs and Enderson Velasquez, Jonathan Camp and Garcia all scored two runs each.

Game 2 - LU 11, ERAU 4
The series and season finale began as the complete opposite of the series' first two contests as the Eagles' Corey Tufts and Fighting Knights' Rigo Beltran were locked in a pitchers duel through the first five frames.

Tufts allowed a lone run in the first and the 1-0 Lynn lead held up until the fourth when Camp homered for the 10th time in 2016, a two-run blast to right that brought in Velasquez and himself for a 2-1 Eagle advantage.

ERAU held the 2-1 lead until the sixth when Lynn struck for three runs to retake the lead at 4-2.

Kyle Zirbes tied things up for the Blue and Gold in the visitor seventh when he connected on his third homer of the year, the Eagles' second two-run home run of the game.

The game remained tied at 4-4 until the last of the eighth when the hosts loaded the bases with no outs, chasing Tufts from the game and eventually striking for seven runs to hold an 11-4 cushion entering the ninth, a score that would prove to be the final.

Moreno was the lone Eagle with multiple hits as he recorded two, and Camp and Zirbes accounted for all the ERAU runs with their two-run home runs.

Saturday's doubleheader marked the final day nine Eagle seniors would wear the Blue and Gold as Matt Jacobs, Joshua Garcia, Kyle Zirbes, Liam Goodall, Enderson Velasquez, Dalton Hughes, Corey Tufts, Tobias Moreno and Dylan Demarest ended the collegiate careers.
