SEWANEE, Tenn. - The Rhodes College baseball team took control of both the series over Sewanee, as well as second place in the SAA Standings as they took two over their rivals by the score of 4-2 and 12-5 (7).

In the first game, the arm of senior Blake Glauben, along with a big three run sixth inning, was the difference in a 4-2 win over the Tigers.

Glauben pitched seven complete, allowing two runs off four hits and striking out 10 in the contest. Glauben earned the win to move to 2-3 overall on the season as he has been in mid-season form the last few weeks.

Rhodes took the early 1-0 lead thanks to an error by the Tigers defense, but Sewanee tied it in the third and took the lead, 2-1, in the fifth.

The Lynx got it back in the sixth inning as senior Zac Lange came through with a clutch hit, singling to left and scoring two in the process to push Rhodes ahead 3-2. Moments later, sophomore Nick Bosma belted a double to left center to make it a 4-2 lead.

Junior Will Vance put the finishing touches on the contest, pitching the final two innings and allowing only one hit in the process as Rhodes picked up the victory.

Lange finished 2-for-3 with two RBI and two runs scored while Bosma was 2-for-4 with two doubles and a RBI. Seniors Bill Munson and Ryan Olive each had a hit and a run scored in the contest. 

In the second game, a 5-for-5 day from sophomore Jacob Telli ignited a 19 hit game as Rhodes picked up a 12-5 win.

Telli got the offensive moving in the first with a RBI double to left for a 1-0 lead. Olive and freshman Ryan Palermo followed with RBI as Rhodes took a 3-0 lead after only one inning.

A wild pitch in the second made it 4-0 while a RBI single by junior Levi Greenberg made it 5-1 in the third. The Lynx put the game out of reach in the fifth, scoring five runs in the inning to take a 10-1 lead thanks to homers from Bosma and Telli as well as RBIs from freshman Paul Giacomazzi and Munson.

Munson and Olive added a RBI each in the sixth as Rhodes didn't let Sewanee get any momentum to get back in the game despite some late runs, winning 12-5 (7) to clinch the series.

Freshman Alex Garrett earned the win, pitching five complete and allowing four runs on six hits. Sophomore Ben South pitched a perfect inning with two strikeouts while freshman Tom Coggins finished it off in the seventh.
