MARS HILL, N.C. - - After losing the series opener Friday, host Mars Hill bounced back with a pair of baseball victories over UVA Wise by scores of 10-4 and 5-3 at Henderson Field Saturday.

GAME ONE

SWAPPING RUNS

Mars Hill took a 1-0 lead after the first by way of a run-scoring double from Tyler Lala.  In the third inning, UVA Wise took the lead on Tyler Campbell's eighth homer of the season, a two-run blast to left field. The lead was short lived as the Lions tied the game back up on a sacrifice fly from Alex Narran in the home half of the frame.

MARS HILL TAKES LEAD FOR GOOD

A two-run homer off the bat of Kyle Jenkins put the hosts in front 4-2 after four innings of play. An inning later, the Cavaliers cut the lead in half on an RBI groundout from JoJo Kelliher but it would be as close as Brandon Costa's team could get.

Mars Hill would score the game's next six runs en route to the 10-4 triumph.

BOX SCORE NOTES

Campbell's homer was the fourth he's hit this season against South Atlantic Conference foes. Justin Reed was the only Cav to have multiple hits as he registered two in the loss, Cole Harness belted a solo homer for UVA Wise's fourth run.

Mars Hill racked up 13 hits in the win, six of which went for extra bases.

GAME TWO

LIONS JUMP OUT FAST

Behind a pair of solo homers from Scottie Lee and Zach Weaver long with a balk, Mars Hill led 3-0 after two innings.

CAVS TIE IT UP

Campbell was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded,  Hunter Meador lined a sacrifice fly and Reed doubled in a run to tie the game at 3-3 in the third inning.

BULLPEN WORK

Both bullpens performed well in the game. UVA Wise reliever Hunter Anderson fanned four over three scoreless innings of work while Mars Hill relievers Max Poole and Sam Kaplan combined to toss 5 2/3 innings of scoreless relief.

BREAKING THROUGH

Mars Hill finally got to the UVA Wise bullpen in its final at bat of the day. Jenkins would double in a pair of runs to give the Lions a 5-3 lead before Kaplan closed the door on the Cavs in their final at bat to secure the doubleheader sweep.
