TIGERVILLE, S.C. - Using a pair of two-run innings, the Anderson baseball team topped North Greenville, 4-1, in non-conference play Wednesday afternoon at Ashmore Field.

Anderson snapped a brief two-game skid and improved to 6-5 overall, while North Greenville dropped to 4-4 on the season.

The Trojans capitalized on three passed balls and a pair of singles to post two runs in the top of the first inning for a quick advantage and boosted their lead to 4-0 in the fourth frame when shortstop Thomas Padro stretched his hitting streak to seven games by leading off with a single to right field. Two outs later, first baseman Erick Sanderson belted his third home run of the season to give the AU pitching staff more support than they needed on the afternoon.

AU senior right-hander Kaleb Davis tossed five innings of scoreless two-hit baseball to earn his second win of the season, while Riley McDermott and Justin Rogers combined for four innings in relief.

Padro and senior Ryan Saxon each tallied a pair of singles on the afternoon, while Sanderson drove in three runs,
