DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - It had been a long time since the Embry-Riddle baseball team celebrated a conference sweep at home, but that changed on Saturday as the Eagles complete a three-game sweep of visiting Palm Beach Atlantic with two wins, including a walk-off in the finale to put a cap on the perfect weekend. The Eagles (7-7, 3-3 SSC) won the day's opener 7-4 thanks to a great relief outing from Garrett Goodall before walking off on the Sailfish (6-11, 1-5 SSC) via a deep sacrifice fly off the bat of Luis Olivier in the bottom of the ninth.

The Eagles stretched their winning streak to four and got their first home conference sweep since sweeping Warner on April 3-4, 2015. ERAU plays a neutral site contest in Kissimmee tomorrow, Sunday, March 3 at 5 p.m. against Minnesota-Crookston. Live stats and live audio will be available.

Game 1 - ERAU 7, PBA 4
Embry-Riddle secured the series win with a victory in the day's opener, getting 6.1 innings of relief from Goodall (1-0) before Dominic Jeancola earned his first save of the year, getting the final five outs.

Troy Naab struggled in the first inning, issuing two walks and allowing three hits as the Sailfish jumped out to an early 2-0 lead; however, the Eagles answered right back when Olivier hammered a two-run homer off of PBA starter Christian Denton in the bottom of the first. Kirk Sidwell followed with an infield single before Kyle Marsh did the same and Cole Habig came through with a two-out RBI single through the right side, pushing the Eagles in front, 3-2. Josh Reynolds delivered with his first collegiate RBI in the next at-bat, a base hit again through the right side of the infield to double the Eagles' lead.

Naab walked the leadoff man in the second before falling behind 3-1 on the next PBA batter and Goodall took over from there, retiring three straight Sailfish in the second, working around a two-out single in the third before PBA got a run back in the fourth. But Goodall got a nice 4-6-3 double play followed by a strikeout to get out of the fourth with the lead, 4-3.

Denton was able to settle in after the four-run first, keeping the Eagles off the scoreboard until the fifth when Marsh came through with a two-out, bases-loaded single to right off of PBA reliever Tyler Hawks, scoring Kyle Guttveg from third for a 5-3 Eagle cushion.

Embry-Riddle added two more runs in the sixth when John Devine tripled in Cody Forster and Olivier followed with a single to play Devine, making it 7-3 in favor of ERAU.

Goodall worked a scoreless seventh, but a pair of one-out hits in the eighth led to Jeancola to enter the game as ERAU led 7-4. Jeancola got out of the inning without further damage and wasted little time in the ninth, going 1-2-3 to preserve the win.

Olivier finished 2-for-4 with three RBIs, while Marsh went 2-for-4 and Guttveg collected two hits, the final one giving him 150 for his ERAU career. The junior became the 24th member of the 150-Hit Club and the sixth-fastest Eagle to ever get there, doing so in 111 career games.

Game 2 - ERAU 6, PBA 5
ERAU needed its final at-bat to conclude the sweep over PBA because the Sailfish rallied three times in the series finale, including scoring a run in the ninth to force the Eagles to bat in the home-half of the inning.

A one-out double from PBA in the top of the final inning chased the Eagles' Joey Gerber from the game as Jeancola entered for his second appearance of the day. A passed ball moved the runner to third before Jeancola walked the next batter and PBA got a ground ball that the Eagles were unable to turn two on as the Sailfish runner from third scored to tie the game at 5-5. PBA was poised to take the lead when a fielding error kept the frame alive, but Jeancola struck out Riley Herold to keep the game tied at 5-5.

Cody Forster started the Eagle rally in the bottom of the ninth with a one-out infield single off PBA closer Joey Hennessey, and Guttveg followed with a single to right center before John Devine dropped one into no-man's land behind second base as the Eagles loaded the bases for Olivier. Olivier crushed a 2-1 pitch to deep center, well deep enough to allow Forster to tag and score the sixth and final Eagle run of the game for the walk-off win.

ERAU scored the first two runs of the contest, going up 1-0 in the first when Olivier singled up the middle to drive in Guttveg from second and then 2-0 in the second when Guttveg collected a sac fly to right center, plating Cole Habig from third. 

The visitors rallied for two runs in the top of the third against Eagle starter Payton Rice, a two-out triple plating a pair of runs to tie the game at 2-2.

ERAU came back with two runs of its own in the home-half of the third as Marsh recorded his first long ball of the season, a two-run shot to left to put ERAU back in front, 4-2.

Once again the Sailfish were able to answer when they scored twice in the fourth, but a sac fly from Devine to score Forster in the fifth put the Eagles back on top by a run, 5-4.

Rice settled in and worked a scoreless fifth and sixth and Gerber took over in the seventh, facing the minimum over the next two frames until PBA made its final comeback in the ninth.

Jeancola (1-2) got the win in relief, while Guttveg had a 3-for-4 game and Mike Lawson collected a pair of hits. Olivier and Marsh each drove in two runs.
