GREENWOOD – In Lander's third straight extra-inning game of the young season, Carson-Newman's Kyle Koeneman stroked a 10th-inning homerun over the left field fence and Mason Guymon added an RBI double to give the Eagles' baseball team a 4-2 non-conference win over the Bearcats Tuesday afternoon at Dolny Stadium.

Carson-Newman improves to 2-2 overall, while Lander also moves to 2-2.

Ryan Fillers (1-1) earned the win for the Eagles, striking out two and allowing two hits in three innings pitched. After hitting the game-winning homer, Koeneman earned the save with one strikeout and one walk.

Lander's Scott Elitzky (1-1) was tagged the losing pitcher after striking out four, walking one, and allowing one earned run on three hits in two innings of work.

For Lander, Jeff May (1-for-3) and Kevin Starr (1-for-1) both doubled.

For Carson-Newman, Koeneman batted 1-for-2, while Cody Fox (1-for-5) and Guymon (2-for-4) both doubled. Lance Rorex and Zach Long both went 2-for-5 and Troy Zawadzki was 2-for-4.

Evan Jurjevic gave Carson-Newman a 1-0 lead in the second inning when he walked, advanced to second on Philip Duncan's sacrifice bunt, to third on a balk and home on Fox's groundout.

May's two-RBI double to deep left field plated Ian Harvey and AJ Nunziato as Lander came right back in its half of the second to take a 2-1 advantage.

Carson-Newman tied the game in the fifth inning on a rare in the park home run by Zawadski. Zawadski drove the ball to deep centerfield, but Lander's Ian Harvey injured himself on the play when he dove to make the catch and wasn't able to retrieve the ball.

Twice the Lander defense came to rescue in the seventh and ninth innings with bases loaded and one out.

In the seventh, first baseman Jordan Owens nabbed the second out when he stretched long over the Lander dugout fence, then Juan Montana made a diving catch in left field to end the inning.

In the ninth, Elitzky struck out Trace Rogers and Long.
