FORT PIERCE, Fla. – Kenyon College freshman Jesse Bogacz twirled a seven-inning no-hitter Friday and lit a fire under a Lords baseball team that swept a doubleheader from the Immaculata University Mighty Macs. Bogacz directed Kenyon to 4-0 win in game one and sophomore Thomas Morris pitched the Lords to a 4-2 win in the finale.

Bogacz (1-0) issued just three walks, hit one batter, and faced three over the minimum. Only two of four Immaculata base runners made it as far as second base. Between the first and third innings, Bogacz retired eight consecutive batters and then sat down seven straight between the third and sixth innings. He coaxed five fly-outs, seven ground-outs, and fanned eight. The only other out recorded was when Kenyon catcher Max Warren, another freshman, gunned down a would-be base-stealer in the sixth inning.

The no-hitter was Kenyon's first since Geoff Bollier and Nate Fedor combined to shut down Hiram College on March 13, 2008.

In game two, Morris did all he could to match Bogacz's performance. Morris went the distance, allowed just three hits and one earned run. He improved his season record to 2-0 and his season earned run average to 0.64. Morris yielded just one walk and struck out five.

The combined outings from Bogacz and Morris helped Kenyon jump out to a 5-2 record to start to the season and they had a huge impact on the team's sparking 2.84 ERA through those seven games.

Kenyon didn't need much offense Friday, but it got plenty from Warren, as well as Jake Dunn. Warren's day included a combined 4-for-6 effort at the plate with two triples, three runs scored, and one RBI. Dunn also went 4-for-6 and tacked on a run and two RBI. Cormac Jewell had three hits on the day and Max Heldman had two.

In game one, Kenyon picked up its first run when Warren tripled and later scored on an RBI single from Heldman in the third inning. In the fourth, Dunn tripled and scored on a single from Kyle Hardacker. Then, in the fifth, Warren, who was batting in the No. 9 hole, tripled again. Heldman walked. Jewell then singled to plate Warren and Dunn singled to bring home Heldman.

Despite Morris' brilliant game-two showing, the Lords trailed 2-1 going into the seventh and final inning. John Nahra got the call to pinch hit and he got things rolling for the Lords with a one-out single. He moved to second base on a passed ball and then to third when Tyler Roldan got aboard via an Immaculata error. Warren singled home Nahra to tie the game at 2-2. The remaining Kenyon runners moved up on a wild pitch. Heldman and Jewell then singled them home to round out the scoring and the sweep.

The Lords will be in action again Sunday, when they take on the Westminster College Titans in a doubleheader beginning at 10 a.m.
