SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Offense was on full display for the Wofford baseball team at Russell C. King Field Saturday as the Terriers swept both ends of a doubleheader against Fordham. Wofford claimed game one 6-3 behind Gunnar Johnson's clutch home run in the eighth before rolling to a 29-3 drubbing in game two with numerous program records set. The Terriers improve to 8-2 with Fordham dropping to 2-7.
 
Game One
Terrier reliever Morgan Lunceford (2-0) earned the win after tossing the final 3.0 innings with one run on three hits and four strikeouts. Starter Zac Cowan pitched the first 6.0 innings with two runs (one earned) allowed on six hits with five punchouts.
 
Aric Berg (0-2) of the Rams suffered the loss in relief after pitching 2.0 innings and allowing three runs on three hits and a walk.
 
Brice Martinez paced the Terrier offense with two hits and reach a third time by way of a walk. He added an RBI, as did Marshall Toole and Tyler Hare, and Gunnar Johnson tallied three. Every Terrier run scored via the long ball, and Martinez, Toole and Hare all clubbed solo shots before Johnson delivered a three-run blast.
 
The Rams struck first in the top of the first when a fielding error allowed a run to score. But Wofford had a quick answer in the bottom of the inning. Lead-off man Marshall Toole did his job, working an 11-pitch at-bat before taking that 11^th pitch for a ride with a lead-off solo home run to even the game at 1-1.
 
A bases-loaded bit-by-pitch in the second gave Fordham a second run, and it held that 2-1 lead until the fourth. That was when Brice Martinez played long ball with his own solo homer. The game was tied once more, 2-2.
 
In the bottom of the fifth, Tyler Hare joined the party with his own solo clout, giving Wofford its first lead of the game at 3-2.
 
In the eighth, Fordham recorded its own solo homer to tie the affair once more at 3-all. But in the bottom of the inning, one more long ball would decide it all. After the Terriers loaded the bases, Gunnar Johnson came up and launched a three-run bomb over the trees in left field to push Wofford ahead 6-3.
 
Morgan Lunceford remained on the bump for the ninth and shut the door to seal Wofford's 6-3 win in game one of the doubleheader.
 
Game Two
Mike Eggert (2-0) made his first start of the season and secured the win with 4.0 scoreless innings and six strikeouts to just three hits and one walk. John Gray tossed 2.0 innings with three runs allowed before Kenny Michaels made his collegiate debut with 2.0 scoreless innings and a pair of punchouts with no hits or walks. Branton Little tossed the final innings, allowing no hits and striking out two.
 
Ram starter Dominic Cunha (0-3) suffered the loss after allowing seven runs (six earned) on two walks and four hits. He faced seven batters and did not record an out.
 
For an offense that has been stellar all season, the Terriers took it up a notch in game two by setting a couple of single-game program records. The 29 runs are the most in a game, topping the previous high of 27, done twice prior with both instances coming against Allen in 1987. Wofford's 26 hits top the previous record of 24, done three times prior and most recently against Elon in 2009.
 
Eight Terriers tallied multi-hit efforts with 12 total owning at least one base knock. Andrew Mannelly and Tyler Hare both totaled four-hit efforts, with Mannelly knocking home four RBI and Hare having three. Marshall Toole and Dixon Black both had three-hit days, and Toole had four RBI and Black two. Black reached base five total times by also working two walks. Brice Martinez, Gunnar Johnson, Daniel Jackson and Tyler Bak all had two-hit games. Jackson tallied a career-high four RBI, and Bak's hits are the first of his career. Lucas Manning drove home a career-high three runs, and Logan Tribble recorded his first-career base hit with two RBI, also a first. Toole swiped two bases in the game, both coming in the first inning and each coming on separate trips on base.
 
After a 1-2-3 top of the first by Mike Eggert, the Terrier offense came up and wasted no time in making the game's outcome apparent. A bases-loaded walk drawn by Brice Martinez began what became a 10-run innings. Gunnar Johnson added two more runs with a single, and Tyler Hare added another RBI single. Daniel Jackson added his own two-run single, and Marshall Toole's second trip to the plate in the inning was yet again an RBI single. Dixon Black hit an RBI double before Andrew Mannelly singled him home. A wild pitch would plate Mannelly for the 10^th and final run of the onslaught.
 
The scoring continued with six more runs in the second with an error plating one before Jack Renwick was hit with a pitch with the bases loaded. Toole's two-run single preceded a Mannelly two-run single. Wofford led 16-0.
 
In the third, Hare tripled home a run before Jackson added an RBI groundout to make the score 18-0.
 
In the fourth, Toole rocketed a solo home run, and an RBI fielder's choice got Wofford to 20 runs.
 
Bak hit an RBI double in the fifth before Black did the same. Mannelly added a run-scoring single, and Manny tripled home two runs before Hare's RBI single made the score 26-0.
 
Fordham got on the board in the sixth with three runs to cut the margin to 26-3.
 
The Terriers were quiet in the sixth and seventh before plating three more for the record in the bottom of the eighth. Logan Tribble's two-run single secured the program record for 28 runs, and a fielding error provided the 29^th and final run.
 
Branton Little closed out the game in the ninth to seal the 29-3 triumph.
