Baseball Splits Doubleheader at Radford But Sets the Tone for Game Three with 9-1 Game Two Win

RADFORD, Va. – On the road for the second time in as many weekends to open Big South Conference play and seeing its series altered by Mother Nature, USC Upstate baseball split its series-opening doubleheader Friday against Radford.
 
The Spartans struck first in both ends of the twin bill, scoring in each game's first inning. In game one, the Highlanders battled back to take a 3-1 victory with Upstate continuing to put runs on the board in game two, leading to a 9-1 victory.
 
At the plate, freshman designated hitter Noah Sullivan and senior rightfielder Noah Myers led the Spartans, hitting .600 (3-for-5) and .571 (4-for-7), respectively. Sullivan also paced Upstate in slugging percentage (.800) and on-base percentage (.778), adding four free bases (two walks and two HBP) to his three hits. Myers led the Spartans with three stolen bases, each coming in game two, as Upstate was successful in 5-of-6 stolen base attempts.
