WINCHESTER, Va. (March 13, 2001) - The SU baseball team got itself back on the winning track Tuesday evening with a doubleheader sweep of Division II Columbia Union College. After snapping a three-game losing streak with a 14-9 win in game one, the Hornets (9-6) completed the sweep with a 23-9 game two drubbing.

Freshman Tyler Daniel (Richmond, Va./J.R. Tucker) made the most his first significant playing time by setting a new school record in the nightcap with 8 RBI. Daniel was 4 for 4 with three runs scored on a double and two home runs in just his second start of the season. His eight runs batted in breaks the previous record of six, held jointly by Geoff Williams '00 and Jeremy Schutt (Annandale, Va./Prince George's CC). Junior Tom Delaney (Fairfax Station, Va./Hayfield) was 4 for 5 with 3 RBI while Jake Fielder (Fairfax, Va./Chantilly) followed up his game one win on the mound with a 3 for 5 performance at the plate in game two.

Freshman Josh Copp (Winchester, Va./James Wood) earned the nightcap victory by allowing four hits in 1.2 innings of action. Junior Chris Kees (Gore, Va./James Wood) picked up his second save of the season by pitching a scoreless final 2.1 innings.

Fiedler went the distance in the lidlifter; he struck out seven and walked just one in the win. He gave up seven hits and five runs (one earned) to improve his pitching record to 2-1. Fiedler also led the Hornets at the plate with three hits in four at-bats and two runs batted in. Sophomore Chris Zaia (Macungie, Pa./Emmaus) was the only other player with more than one hit. He was 2 for 3 and had an RBI.
