ANDERSON, S.C. - Senior Brett Scarberry and junior Erick
Sanderson each posted home runs, but Anderson dropped a 10-6
decision to visiting North Georgia in non-conference baseball
action Tuesday night at Memorial Stadium.
Anderson slipped to 10-26 on the season, while North Georgia
improved to 15-14.
Scarberry finished 4-for-5 on the night and blasted his third
homer of the season, a three-run shot, over the left-field fence in
the sixth inning. Sanderson's homer, his fifth in the last four
games, just clipped the top of the left-field fence as it sailed
out of the park. He also crossed the plate three times. Sophomore
Shawn Delmontagne added two hits in four at-bats and recorded an
eighth-inning RBI, while freshman Brett Cash added a pair of
singles.
Sophomore Kyle Francis (0-1) suffered the loss, giving up five
runs on six hits in five innings of work. Sophomore Wes Coberly
(3-2) picked up the win for the Saints, tossing five innings, while
surrendering three runs off eight hits.
North Georgia jumped on top early, scoring three runs in the
second inning, with the big blow a two-out two-run triple that
reached the wall off the bat of Dustin Carpenter.
Sanderson answered with his lead-off homer in the bottom of the
frame, but the Saints added solo runs in each of the next two
innings to push their lead to 5-1 and added two more in the
sixth.
Scarberry's three-run homer trimmed the deficit to 7-4, but
North Georgia tacked on two in the seventh and one in the eighth
before AU scored a pair of runs in the eighth on RBI-singles from
Delmontagne and Thomas Padro.
The Trojans will face another Peach Belt-foe, Lander, Wednesday
night at Fluor Field in Greenville. First-pitch is scheduled for 7
p.m.

And that's exactly what happened to Pam Pendleton on Saturday,
February 18 in the opening game of a doubleheader against
Carson-Newman when Shawn Delmontagne hit a one-out solo home run to
left-center in the fifth inning.
Head coach Joe Miller and Director of Athletics Nancy Simpson
presented Pam with her $500 check Tuesday night.
