three-game sweep of Fulton-Montgomery College with a 21-5 win on

scored on Center's first double of the day.
Following a two-run third for Fulton-Montgomery, the Builders
broke loose scoring eight runs in the third inning with Drewry
getting a two-run double and a bases-clearing double from
Center. Drewry went 1-for-1 on the day getting hit by a pitch
twice and a walk while driving in three runs and scoring two.
The hitting power kept going in the fifth as the Builders scored
five runs with freshman Dory Fields tripling in a pair and
sophomore Kenny Eanes doubling in one. Junior Eric Polk and
senior Alan Riley also singled in a run apiece to put the Builders
ahead 15-5 after five complete innings.
In the sixth, the Builders put the finishing touches on the game
scoring six runs as freshman Robert Goodwin singled in a pair of
runs, while Riley singled in another and Travis Franklin drove in
one by being hit by a pitch.
Eanes went 3-for-4 with a pair of runs scored while Goodwin,
Fields and Riley each had two hits to help the Builders who had 19
hits in the contest. Sophomore Aaron Penny won his third
