MOUNT BERRY, Ga.- Reminiscent of their eight-run eighth inning that propelled the Vikings over Oglethorpe yesterday, Berry would once again compile eight runs in their final at-bat to secure the series sweep over the Stormy Petrels and stay perfect in Southern Athletic Association play, winning 12-8.

Oglethorpe (6-9, 2-4) wasted no time tallying their first runs, jumping out to a 4-0 lead. Then, with one out in the bottom of the first, Joey Garcia tripled to left-center field and scored after an RBI double from Spence Johns, cutting the lead to 4-1. The Stormy Petrels would strike for two more runs in the third, giving them their largest lead of the day.

Berry (12-5, 3-0 SAA) would once again have the answer in the bottom half, coming alive after an RBI single from Wesley Wade to score Garcia. A double from Justin Carr that caromed off the center field wall then brought two more runs home, scoring both Wade and Johns and making the score 6-4. Over the next five innings, two more runs would come across to score in favor of the Stormy Petrels and Berry was left searching for answers offensively as the Vikings would register just one hit between the fourth and seventh innings.

Trailing 8-4 entering the bottom of the eighth inning however, the Vikings lineup would finally hit its stride. Andrew Pendleton sent his second homerun in as many days over the right field wall, scoring Wesley Wade who had reached on a hit by pitch to begin the inning. Back-to-back one-out doubles from Ronnie Caricofe and Trace Cate, and a walk to Dalton Smith caused the Stormy Petrel defense to stiffen up a bit. Three errors and a three-run triple from Pendleton later, the Vikings found themselves up 12-8. Pendleton alone had five RBIs in the inning to accompany the round-tripper and the triple.

Mason Carnes picked up his third win of the season, tossing four innings and giving up just four hits, surrendering the lone run in the sixth inning. Pendleton finished the weekend 6-for-9 with two homeruns, 12 RBI, and four runs scored. Garcia, Johns, and Pendleton all finished will multi-hit performances today.

The Vikings will hit the road tomorrow and head north to take on Covenant. First pitch from Lookout Mountain, Ga. Is scheduled for 3 pm.
