DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The Embry-Riddle baseball team added another non-conference victory to its tally with a 5-2 win over Flagler on a special night at Sliwa Stadium on Tuesday. With former Embry-Riddle Head Coach Greg Guilliams bringing his Flagler team to Sliwa Stadium for the first time and Guilliams' successor Randy Stegall throwing out the first pitch, each of the Eagles' three head coaches over the last 35 years were in attendance at Tuesday's game.
 
Matthew Coker was 3-for-5 with an RBI, while Robert Post picked up three RBI with one swing, recording a double in his only hit of the day. Gunnar Harrison got the start and struck out four while allowing just three baserunners in five innings on the hill to earn the win. Joe Balsam also recorded four strikeouts in 1.2 innings to earn his second save of the season.
