ROCK HILL, SC--The Winthrop baseball team used two big innings to defeat College LaFleche 13-6 ain a fall exhibition game at The Winthrop Ballpark.

The Eagles jumped on the visitors from Quebec for four first inning runs and added seven more in the fifth inning of the seven-inning contest. Winthrop finished the game with 14 hits and showed some power as they finished with two home runs, five doubles and a triple.

Outfielders TJ Olesczuk and Cody Dolan did most of the damage for the Eagles as they blasted home runs in the fifth inning. Olesczuk connected on a three-run homer to left while Dolan added a two-run shot to left to give the Eagles a commanding 12-4 lead after five frames. Dolan, a senior who is entering his second season at Winthrop, also drove in the first two runs of the game with a double in the first as Winthrop jumped on LaFleche starting pitcher Phillipe Langlois.

Olesczuk and Dolan along with junior outfielder John Menken and third baseman Leighton Daniels had two hits each for Winthrop. Both of Menken's were of the extra base variety. The JUCO transfer from Elgin Community College had a first-inning triple and doubled in the fifth. One of Daniels' hits was a double.

Winthrop sophomore southpaw Sam Kimec started for the Eagles and was credited with the win as he went two innings, allowing four hits and no runs while striking out two batters. Eagle head coach Tom Riginos used five pitchers in the seven innings. Sophomore right hander Joey Strain struck out four of the six hitters he faced while left handed junior Josh Strong struck out the side in his only inning on the mound. As a unit, the Eagle pitchers allowed six runs on 10 hits.

The game was a bit sloppy defensively as both teams committed four errors that led to four unearned runs for Winthrop and two by College LaFleche.
