Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 Due West, SC – The Flying Fleet held off a late North Greenville rally in game two to complete a three game sweep of the Crusaders Saturday afternoon. 

Game One

Neither team could get any offense going in the first two and a half innings of game one.  In the bottom of the third, Tanner Lollis (Williamston, SC, Palmetto HS) and Andrew Kozak (Sidney, NY, Hudson Valley CC) would hit back to back singles and Brandon Overstreet (Stuart, FL, Herkimer CC) would blast a pitch over the left field wall to put Erskine (27-11, 13-4) up 3-0.  The Fleet would add to their lead with four more runs in the fifth.  Overstreet would single and advance to third on a double by Chase Corn (Travelers Rest, SC, Blue Ridge HS).  Zach Smith (Lexington, SC, White Knoll HS) would then single to left to score Overstreet.  Back to back bases loaded walks by Hanlon Maivelett (Aiken, SC, Aiken HS) and Joey Wilson (Charleston, SC, USC Sumter) would make the score 6-0.  Lollis would then reach on a fielder's choice to score Richard Dix (Clemson, SC, Daniel HS) to round out the scoring in the fifth.  Erskine would add two more runs in the sixth to take the 9-0 victory.

Following hitting for the cycle on Friday, Overstreet again led the Fleet at the plate going 2-3 with a home run and three RBIs.  Smith finished the game 2-4 with three runs driven in and Corn was 2-4 with a double and two runs scored.  Wes Schuler (Spartanburg, SC, USC Sumter) (4-1) had a dominating performance in his first start of the season allowing just two hits and striking out five in a complete game shutout.

Drew Lipscomb and Mike Habas were the only two Crusaders (7-33, 2-16) to pick up a hit.  Shane Bishop (0-3) took the loss allowing seven runs on eight hits in 4.1 innings of work.

Game Two

North Greenville would take an early lead in game two with a two run home run from Tyler Mitchell in the top of the first.  In the bottom of the second, Logan Galliher (Taylorsville, NC, Alexander Central HS) would lead off with a single to left and then Dix would blast a pitch over the right field wall to tie the game at two.  Wilson would follow with a single to left and then stole second.  He would score on a single from Lollis to give Erskine the lead. The lead would be short lived as Allen Staton would hit a solo home run to center field in the top of the third to tie the game.  Smith would answer in the bottom of the inning with a solo home run of his own to give the Fleet the lead again.

North Greenville would tie the game in the top of the fourth when Lipscomb singled and later scored on a wild pitch.  With no one on and two outs in the bottom of the fourth, Lollis would double to left field and then score on a single by Kozak to put Erskine up by one.  After a single by Overstreet, Corn would line a double to left center to score two and make it a 7-4 game.  The Fleet would add four more runs in the fifth to increase their lead to seven.  After scoring two runs in the sixth to cut the Erskine lead to five, the Crusaders would add three more in the seventh to make it a 11-9 game.  With a runner on and one out in the eighth, Cody Dysart (Greenwood, SC, Greenwood HS) would come into the game and retire the next two batters and pitch a perfect ninth to pick up his first save of the season.

Lollis led Erskine at the plate going 3-4 with a double and RBI, while Smith and Galliher each had two hits.  Dix and Maivelett each drove in two runs in the victory.  Zach McAllister (Simpsonville, SC, Hillcrest HS) (3-2) picked up the win allowing one earned run and striking out three in 2.2 innings of relief work.

Matt Cooper and Mitchell were each 2-5 with two RBI's for North Greenville.  Foley George, Josh Sealey and Lipscomb also added two hits.  Ryan Woodring (1-8)  took the loss allowing nine earned runs on 14 hits in 5.1 innings of work
