ELON, N.C. – The Wofford baseball team used eight runs over the final four innings Saturday afternoon at Latham Park to best the Elon Phoenix on the road in a 14-3 eight-inning win.

Wofford used just two pitchers in the game. Cullen Condon started and pitched the first 4.0 frames, allowing three runs on three hits and four walks with a pair of punchouts. Champ Davis (4-0) polished off the last 4.0 innings to secure the win. He struck out five batters and allowed no runs or hits. The only two blemishes to his line were a walk and a hit batter as he retired 12 of the 14 hitters he faced.
 
Elon put six differed hurlers on the bump with starter Hank Krift (1-4) suffering the loss. He surrendered six runs (one earned) on eight hits and a walk in 2.1 innings of action.

Every Terrier starter recorded at least one hit with six notching multiple. Tanner Hardin led the way with three knocks, a career high for the freshman. He drove home a pair of runs. David Wiley, Tyler Hare, James Layman, Luas Grantham, and Niko Brini each tallied a pair of hits. One of Brini's was an inside-the-park home run, the first homer of his career. He notched career bests for hits, runs (two), steals (three), and RBI (three).

Elon struck first in the bottom of the first, utilizing a two-run double to take a 2-0 lead.
 
The Terriers struck back in a big way with a five-run second frame. Tyler Hare's walk led the inning off, and James Layman followed with a well-executed bunt single. The catcher's throw to first sailed into the outfield, allowing Layman to rush to third and Hare to scurry home. Lucas Grantham immediately followed with an RBI single. Tanner Hardin's bunt single put two on, and a double steal pushed both runners into scoring position. Adam Haber's chopper single in the infield with a subsequent throwing error allowed both runners to score, and David Wiley's double to the right center gap brought Haber in for a 5-2 advantage.
 
Wofford tacked on another in the top of the third. With two runners on, Hardin singled back up the middle to push the lead runner across and stretch the lead to 6-2.

In the top of the fifth, Wofford posted two runs to further its lead. Layman led the inning off with a double, but two outs directly followed. Niko Brini stepped up and lifted a ball that dropped down the left field line just fair and rolled into the corner.

Wiley promptly followed with a sacrifice fly to bring home another, making the margin 12-3.
 
In the top of the eighth, Wofford pushed across two more runs for a fourth-straight frame. Grantham's double was followed by an RBI single from Hardin. He would then score on Brini's single, pushing Wofford ahead 14-3.
