FORT PIERCE, Fla. – Four pitchers combined to hold Geneva College to just one unearned run as the Kenyon College baseball team wrapped up its spring-break schedule Friday with a 7-1 victory over the Golden Tornadoes.

Senior Mike Jeffers got his first start of the season for Kenyon and went 4 2/3 innings, one out shy of picking up the win. In that span, Jeffers gave up only five hits and the one unearned run. He walked one batter, struck out two, and now owns a sparkling 0.68 earned run average. Classmate Josh Jacobvitz finished off the fifth inning and picked up the win after pitching a scoreless sixth and seventh.

Matt Delbridge and Spencer Byers then stepped up and each hurled a clean inning of relief to put a cap on tremendous stretch of pitching for the Lords, who leave Florida with a 9-6 record. During their two-week stay in the Sunshine State, the Lords' pitching staff tossed 115 innings and produced a team ERA of 2.65. Kenyon's mound men struck out 101 batters, gave up just 30 walks, and registered a .218 batting average against.

With bats in hand, the Lords whipped up 15 hits against Geneva. Jake Dunn chalked up another two hits Friday and completed an amazing start to his senior campaign. The center fielder hit .542 in 48 Florida at-bats. He had six doubles, two triples, scored a dozen runs, and drove home eight RBI. Additionally, he was a perfect 7-for-7 in stolen base attempts, drew 11 walks, and cranked out a remarkable .639 on-base percentage.

Another Kenyon senior, Kyle Hardacker, extended his hot streak at the plate. After watching his batting average dip to .250 through the Lords' first eight games, he poked three hits Friday. That gave him 11 hits in his last seven games and has his season average pumped up to .340.

Sophomore Phillip Nam didn't quite experience the ups and downs like Hardacker. Instead, Nam was consistent and has had his batting average hover around the .380 mark for the last six games. On Friday, he went 3-for-5 with a run scored and two RBI. He now leads the team with 12 RBI on the season.

Nam doubled in Kenyon's first run in the first inning of Friday's contest. Geneva got the run back in the bottom of the second, but the Lords responded with three more in the top of the fifth. In that frame, Dunn doubled home two runs and later came around to score on a wild pitch.

Up 4-1, Kenyon picked up some insurance in the final two innings. Heldman laced an RBI single in the eighth and then Nam and von Roemer both repeated the feat in the ninth.
