SALEM, Va. - Bridgewater College received two strong pitching efforts Saturday afternoon but came away with just one victory in a conference doubleheader at Roanoke College.

Bridgewater's Joseph Lucas pitched a complete game but was the hard-luck loser. Lucas gave up six hits and one run in eight innings.

Roanoke scored the game's only run in the third. Matt Wallman led off with a single and Nick Sburlati walked. Both runners moved up on a sacrifice bunt by Dalton Lipes before Scott Thurston singled to score Wallman from third.

Jake Wade gave the Eagles the lead with a run-scoring single in the opening frame.

The Eagles added two more in the sixth on run-scoring doubles by Kirk and Wade and then tacked on four more in the seventh. Alex Nuttycombe and Matt Maher singled in the seventh and both scored on a single by Snow, making the score 11-1. Two Roanoke errors led to two more runs and a 13-0 Bridgewater lead.
