Junior outfielder Ryan Anderson had four hits, including a three-run home run, and drove in seven runs in leading Shenandoah University to a 20-11 victory over Eastern Mennonite University in a non-conference baseball match-up on Thursday in Harrisonburg, Va.

SU (19-9) and EMU (4-19) combined for 31 runs, 32 hits, and 12 errors in the game. The Hornets took the early lead in the game, taking a commanding 12-2 edge after two and a half innings. Trailing 16-5 after five and a half, the Royals got two runs in the sixth and four in the seventh to close within 16-11, but the Hornets put the game away with four of their own in the eighth.

Freshman Andy Fainter (Buena Vista, Va.), making his third collegiate start, last just one and one-third innings. He allowed 10 runs, eight earned, on six hits and walked four. Four different pitchers worked in relief for EMU.
