NASHVILLE – Trevecca Nazarene (18-11, 2-0 G-MAC) swept a conference doubleheader over Cedarville University (11-7, 2-3 G-MAC) Saturday afternoon at Jackson Field. The Trojans have won nine of their last 10.

It was the first-ever conference games for the Trojans.

In the opener, Trevecca broke loose in the bottom of the sixth with home runs from Jordan Foreman and Blake Rogers to break a 1-1 tie. 

Prior to that, it was a pitching duel between Cedarville's David Ledbetter and Trevecca's Connor Haddock. 

After TNU jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first courtesy of Nick Howell's home run to right center, Ledbetter would limit Trevecca's offense.

The Yellow Jackets' right-hander allowed just two hits induced four fly-outs and three groundouts between the second and fifth innings. Ledbetter also struck out two.

Until the sixth inning, Haddock allowed just four Yellow Jackets to reach scoring position. He struck out three batters and induced four groundouts and three flyouts.

Logan Kasabian would deliver Cedarville's first run in the top of the sixth as he singled home Dan Larkin.

Trevecca responded the next inning with the two home runs and an RBI single from Cade Seeley.

CU added its last run in the top of the seventh as Chris Ward reached on a fielder's choice scoring Steve Cardwell.

Haddock (4-0) tossed a complete game and allowed eight hits, two runs and fanned five.

Seeley was the only Trevecca player to record multiple hits.

In game two, Cedarville jumped out to a 3-0 lead through the first two innings. Kasabian connected with an RBI single in the first while Cam McWilliams and Dan Larkin had RBI hits in the second.

Trevecca would cut into the deficit plating two runs in the fourth. Tyler Tichenor singled through the right side scoring Rogers and Trae Weiss followed in the next at-bat with a sacrifice fly to left field.

Cedarville added a run in the fifth as Larkin homered to left field.

Trailing 4-2 heading to the bottom of the seventh, Trevecca would rally.  Mark Rayburn would hit a sacrifice bunt moving Howell and Seeley into scoring position. Foreman followed with a two-run double to left field tying the game. Two batters later Rogers singled through the right side scoring Foreman giving the home team a slim 5-4 lead.

Looking to send the game to extra innings, CU's McWilliams would provide the game-tying hit in the top of the ninth. With a pinch runner on second, McWilliams lifted a pitch to left field scoring Peter Martin.

Trevecca had a chance to close the game in the ninth, but Ryan Ledbetter struck out Rogers to send the game to extra innings.

CU looked to take the lead in the top of the 10th with runners on first and second and just one out. But Trevecca pitcher Dylan Kuhn (2-0) would end the scoring threat inducing a fly ball and striking out two.

In the bottom of the 11th, Howell reached third on a passed ball but the ensuing Trevecca batter grounded out.

After Kuhn retired the side in the top of the 12th, Trevecca would claim victory. After a Crunk single, Rogers would steal third base as the Cedarville defense fell asleep. In the next at-bat, Tichenor singled through the right side ending the game.

Kuhn picked up the win tossing 3.2 innings, allowing just two hits and striking out six. Mason Dunn started the game and settled down after the first two innings. He tossed five innings, allowed five hits, four earned runs and fanned a game-high seven batters.

Tichenor and Rogers each had three hits for TNU while Crunk had two.
