Lander Cruises to Game One Win Over USCB

HARDEEVILLE, S.C. - The Lander baseball team opened its final Peach Belt Conference series of the season in dominant fashion, rolling to a 20-1 win over USC Beaufort in seven innings on Friday evening.

Every member of the starting nine reached base, and seven recorded at least one RBI, led by Brody Winter, who drove in seven runs. It marks the most RBI in a game by a Bearcat since Zach Daly accomplished the feat against Anderson on March 23, 2016.

Winter got things started early, launching a three-run homer in the first inning to give Lander a 3-0 lead.

After a scoreless second, the Bearcats broke the game open with an eight-run third inning. Riley Hood sparked the rally with a two-RBI double before Mason Salisbury followed with an RBI double. Caden Crews added two more with a single, and Winter capped the inning with a bases-clearing triple to push the lead to 11-0.

USC Beaufort got on the board in the bottom half of the inning on an error, but Lander continued to pile on late.

In the sixth, Cole Bellinger delivered an RBI double and three bases-loaded walks brought home four runs. The Bearcats added more in the seventh with another three bases-loaded walks, a sacrifice fly from Ryan Hansen, and an RBI double from Oliver Zohn to complete the scoring.

It marked the 17th time this season Lander has scored double-digit runs and the second time the Bearcats have reached the 20-run mark, joining a 22-12 win over Georgia Southwestern on March 29.

The series continues tomorrow at 2 p.m.
