ANDERSON, S.C. - Four Trojan pitchers combined to limit Southern Wesleyan to six hits as the Anderson University baseball team opened a four-game homestand with a 3-1 win past Southern Wesleyan Wednesday afternoon at Anderson Memorial Stadium.

Anderson (3-3) claimed its second win in as many days and improved to 2-0 at home, while Southern Wesleyan fell to 1-3 on the season.

Senior right-hander Kaleb Davis got the start on the mound for the Trojans, hurling four full innings for the win, while Elliott Tolley, Riley McDermott and Jacob Saxon combined to toss five innings of scoreless, two-hit baseball.

Senior second baseman Ryan Saxon, junior Ryan Kirkland and sophomore Tripp Ross led the way offensively for Anderson, as each posted two hits on the afternoon. Saxon reached base four times, including two doubles and was hit by an errant pitch in the seventh inning.

The Trojans opened the scoring with a pair of runs in the second inning, as Saxon led off the frame by ripping the first of his two doubles to center field and moved to third on a passed ball. One out later, Kirkland singled through the left side for an RBI, moved into scoring position on another passed ball and scored what turned out to be the game-winning run on Ross' single back up the middle.

Southern Wesleyan countered with a solo run in the third when catcher Luke Sawyer singled to left and scored on Will Henderson's double to left. Henderson was thrown out trying to stretch his two-bagger into a triple as the relay came from Shawn Delmontagne in left to the cut-off man Padro at short and on to Blake May at third, erasing the threat.

The Warriors led off the fifth inning with back-to-back walks, but Tolley regained his control and retired the next three batters to close out the inning, while Anderson notched its final run of the afternoon in the bottom of the inning. Thomas Padro blasted his second double of the season down the right-field line with one out and crossed the plate when the SWU third baseman was unable to corral Saxon's line drive just inside the bag.

Southern Wesleyan again got its first two runners on base in the sixth, but the right-handed McDermott came on in relief and retired the next three Warrior batters - two on pop-ups in foul territory.

Saxon turned in the defensive gem of the game with one out in the eighth, when he robbed SWU's Carey Rowland of a sure single up the middle. The 5-foot-8 second baseman made a diving stop in the hole and threw from his knees to record the second out of the inning.

Anderson opens a three-game weekend series by playing host to Coker College on Saturday with a doubleheader slated to begin at 1 p.m. at Anderson Memorial Stadium.
