BRIDGEWATER, Va. – Kenner Berry had five extra-base hits, including three home runs, Saturday afternoon to power the Bridgewater College Eagles to a doubleheader sweep over the College of Mount Saint Vincent.

In the opener Berry hit two homers, one an inside-the-park job, to pace the Eagles to an 11-2 victory. Sophomore lefty Chad Lenz worked four solid innings, allowing just one earned run, to pick up the victory on the mound.

In the second game, Berry needed only a single to hit for the cycle as he finished 3-for-5 with a double, triple and homer. Starting pitcher Brady Cockerham and three relievers combined to blank the Dolphins on just four base hits.

Bridgewater wasted little time in jumping on Dolphins' starter Tyler Krolikowski in the bottom of the first inning of the opener. Dylan Horne chopped a grounder over the mound for an infield single to lead off the game and Brandon Poole and Ryan Leake each walked to load the bases with no outs. Berry cleared the sacks with a grand slam to left, giving the Eagles a 4-0 lead.

The Dolphins nicked Lenz for a run in the second. Keith Brodesser led off with a single, but Lenz struck out the next two batters. Brodesser swiped second and Matt Nesesohn followed with a run-scoring single up the middle to trim the margin to 4-1.

Bridgewater scored three runs in the bottom of the second and four more in the third to break the game open.

With one out in the second, Horne singled and moved to third on a single by Poole with Poole taking second on the throw in from the outfield. Horne scored on a wild pitch and Poole raced home on Leake's grounder to second. Berry then hit a long fly to leftcenter that both outfielders lost in the sun. Berry circled the bases for an inside-the-park homer to give the Eagles a 7-1 lead.

Cavin Clyde led off the bottom of the third inning with a double down the left-field line and Austin Batten followed by drawing a base on balls. Both runners moved up on Hunter Hensley's bunt and both scored on Parker Mead's bloop double to left, putting the Eagles on top 9-1. Horne followed with a  double down the left field line, chasing Mead home to make it 10-1. Poole then reached on an error with Horne moving to third on the play. Horne scored on a sacrifice fly by Leake, making the score 11-1.

Lenz worked the first four innings and allowed just one run on four hits, He struck out five and walked two.

The Eagles starter then handed the ball to freshman Ryan Mason and the righthander was impressive in his first collegiate outing. Mason pitched three innings and did not allow a hit. He struck out two and walked one.

Sophomore sidearmer Kyle Jones finished up and allowed one run on two hits in his two innings of work.

Cockerham turned in a strong start in the second game as the lefty allowed just two hits in five shutout innings. He struck out four and did not walk a batter.

The Eagles used some heads-up baserunning to get on the board in the bottom of the first. Mount Saint Vincent starter Robert Negron retired the first two batters before Leake reached on an infield error. Leake moved to second on a balk with Berry at the plate. Berry swung and missed at a pitch for strike three but the ball glanced off the catcher's glove and rolled to the backstop. Berry beat the throw to first and Leake raced home to score all the way from second to give the Eagles a 1-0 lead.

Bridgewater gave Cockerham some breathing room with three runs in the bottom of the third inning. With one out, Clyde reached on a double and moved to third on a wild pitch. Leake then belted a homer to right, giving the Eagles a 3-0 lead. Berry followed with a double to leftcenter and moved to third on a pitch in the dirt. Brendan Howell and Justin Petock walked to load the bases before Chris King plated Berry with a sacrifice fly to right, making the score 4-0.

The Eagles added a run in the fifth on Berry's long homer to left to lead off the inning and then blew the game open with a five-run sixth-inning outburst.

Garrison Wright led off the sixth with a triple and scored on Poole's sacrifice fly as the Eagles moved out to a 6-0 lead. Clyde walked and stole second before Leake reached on an error to put runners at first and third. Berry then hit a long, two-run triple to the gap in leftcenter for an 8-0 Eagles lead. Howell walked and stole second before Justin Petock drove home Berry with a sacrifice fly to make the score 9-0. Chris King then knocked in Bridgewater's final run of the day as his single scored Howell to make the score 10-0.

Johnny LaVoie followed Cockerham to the mound and the sophomore did not allow a hit in his two innings of work. A pair of freshmen arms – Jeff Early and Tristan Daywalt – each pitched one inning and each allowed one hit to finish off the shutout.

On the day, Berry was 5-for-8 with eight RBIs. Clyde was 3-for-7 in the two games with three runs scored while Leake finished the twinbill 2-for-6 with four RBIs.
