Box Score GREENSBORO, N.C. -- The Elon baseball team completed a three-game sweep of UNC Greensboro with an 8-4 Southern Conference victory at UNCG Baseball Stadium on Sunday behind an early offensive outburst and strong pitching.

Elon (11-8, 5-4 SoCon) jumped out to a 2-0 lead in its first at bat.  Sebastian Gomez opened the game with a walk and scored on an Alex Swim triple to right-center.  Swim then came in on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Antonio Alvarez.

The Phoenix extended its lead to 5-0 in the second inning after a two-out error allowed Tyler McVicar to reach safely.  After Chris Schaedel singled, Gomez grounded one back up the middle to plate McVicar.  Swim's single drove home Schaedel before Gomez came home on an Alvarez double.

UNCG (8-10, 0-3) got one back in the second on a Benigno Marrero single.  

The score remained 5-1 until the fourth when the maroon and gold struck for three more.  McVicar began this rally with a single through the left side and headed to second on a Schaedel single.  Once Gomez had sacrificed the runners up 90 feet, Swim picked up his third and fourth RBI of the game with a double down the right field line.  With Swim on third after a stolen base, Alvarez bounced one up the middle to drive in Elon's eighth run of the contest.

The Spartans tacked on a single run in both the fifth and eighth to make it 8-3.  UNCG tried for a ninth-inning comeback as Ray Crawford started things off with a double down the right field line.  Trevor Edwards' one-out single put runners on the corners before Lloyd Enzor singled home Crawford to make it 8-4.  David Whitehead then got Cambric Moye to ground into a 6-4-3 double play to end the game and finish off the Elon sweep.

Spencer Medick (2-1) provided the Phoenix with a quality start, going 6.2 innings and allowing two runs on eight hits.  He struck out eight.

Eight UNCG pitchers were used in the contest, none lasting longer than 1.2 innings.  Starter Dylan Thompson (1-3) took the loss after surrendering five runs (two earned) on five hits and a walk in 1.2 innings.

Swim led Elon's offense by going 3-for-4 with two runs scored and four RBI.  He was a homer shy of the cycle and climbed into fifth place on the program's all-time hits chart with 243.  Alvarez drove in three with a 2-for-3 day at the plate.  Gomez, Schaedel and Ryan Kinsella all had two-hit games for the Phoenix.

Elon will be back in action at Latham Park at 2 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon against the Princeton Tigers.
