MIAMI SHORES, Fla. - Less than 24 hours after setting a NCAA II-era program record with 25 hits en route to an 18-5 win, the Embry-Riddle baseball offense was held in check by Barry's pitching staff, managing just one total run in 18 innings as Barry won the Sunshine State Conference series with a pair of Saturday victories, 2-0 and 11-1. The Eagles (26-17, 15-9 SSC) slipped to third in the SSC standings after Saturday's losses, while Barry (28-16, 15-12 SSC) took the South Region top-10 matchup over the Blue and Gold.

The Eagles will travel to Winter Park to take on Rollins in their final SSC road series of 2019 from May 3-5.

Game 1 - Barry 2, ERAU 0
The day's opener was a true pitcher's duel between the Eagles' Payton Rice and Barry's Frank Gonzalez. Gonzalez held the Eagles to just four total hits, three coming off the bat of Luis Olivier, while he and closer Casila combined to induce three huge double plays en route to the 2-0 win. 

Rice worked around some trouble in the bottom of the first inning, stranding runners at second and third with a strikeout, and the game moved quickly to the third when the only runs of the contest would touch home. Four straight singles for the Bucs pushed across the first run of the day and then an Eagle error allowed the second and final Buc tally to cross the plate against Rice.

ERAU threatened in the fourth, getting two men on with two outs, but a fly out ended the inning. The visitors again threatened in the seventh after a leadoff single from Olivier, but a double play erased him as the Eagles again came up empty.

Troy Naab relieved Rice in the bottom of the seventh, escaping a jam to keep it a 2-0 deficit, but ERAU failed to mount a rally, grounding into the third DP of the day in the top of the ninth after a leadoff single from Kyle Guttveg.

Olivier finished 3-for-3 for the Eagles, while Rice (3-6) suffered the loss in six innings, allowing just one earned run.

Game 2 - Barry 11, ERAU 1
The finale was all the home team from the start as Barry scored three in the first and at least one run in each of the first four innings, putting the game out of reach early.

The Eagles' only run of the day came on a solo homer from Guttveg to lead off the sixth. The Blue and Gold used six different pitchers in the game, with Kyle Miller and Max Clark each working scoreless frames in the seventh and eighth.

Barry went for 15 hits in the win, while the Eagle defense committed four errors.
