FLORENCE, Ala. – Lander's Dylan Wolchik flirted with a no-hitter in the first game and Taylor Alvarez tossed a complete-game shutout in the second as the No. 3-ranked Bearcats' baseball team tied a school record for wins in a season Saturday in defeating Stillman College and the University of North Alabama in a non-conference doubleheader at Mike Lane Field.

The Bearcats went up 1-0 in the second inning on Chris Hyatt's solo home run, then Lander erupted for six runs in the third. Erik Lunde drove in Thomas Bess, Thomas Berry's two-RBI single plated Patrick Grady and Lunde, Connor Lewis went home on Weston Lawing's fielder's choice, and Jake Bolena sent Colby Painter and Lawing home with a run-scoring single.

Bolena scored on Grady's RBI single in the sixth to make it 8-0, then the Bearcats tallied their final run in the ninth after Lawing drove in Berry.

Stillman scored all four of its runs in the ninth on RBI singles by Nick Boggs, Brad Sevenish and Anthony Delgado, and a bases-loaded walk by Hank Parker.
