ASHLAND, Va. – Junior James Walsh (Mechanicsville, Va./Atlee) struck out 12 in eight innings in the opener as the 12th-ranked Randolph-Macon baseball team split a doubleheader with Lynchburg in ODAC action Saturday afternoon at Hugh Stephens Field at Estes Park.

The Yellow Jackets (19-7, 10-7) won 13-1 in Game 1 before the Hornets (12-18, 7-8) took the nightcap 13-2.

Walsh (4-1) allowed three hits, one run, one walk and 12 strikeouts. He retired 14 straight from the third through seventh innings and did not allow a hit after the third inning.

R-MC scored in seven of its eight at-bats, including multiple runs in each of the first four frames. Junior Michael Trentham (Midlothian, Va./James River) went 5 for 5 with two runs and two RBI.
