Freshman pitchers Chris Briere and Garrett Lythgoe, two Central Region alumni, both sparkled in their debuts for Longwood in a doubleheader against LeMoyne today.
In the opener, Briere (James River) allowed 1 unearned run in a five-inning start, allowing only 4 singles and 2 walks, while getting 3 K's and 2 DP balls. Unfortunately Briere was deprived of the win when Longwood's fielding and bullpen gave up 5 runs in the 8th and 9th innings to lose, 6-5.
In game 2, Lythgoe suffered 2 unearned runs in the third, but held on to shut out LeMoyne the rest of the way to go 7 innings for the 3-2 win. Lythgoe allowed 7 hits, walked none, and struck out 3.
