The Barton College baseball team won the rubber game of a three-game Conference Carolinas series with a 11-4 win over Belmont Abbey in the final game of a Conference Carolinas series here Sunday.

Barton starting pitcher John Anderson, a right-hander from Richlands, N.C., retired the first 14 Crusaders in order before Chris Vazquez drew a walk on four straight pitches to end the perfect game with two outs in the fifth. The no-hit bid continued until the seventh, when Josh Frazier led off the inning with a clean single to left. Anderson (3-2) went eight innings, allowing four hits, one earned run and one walk while striking out nine.

Barton (15-15, 6-9), as it had done in both games on Saturday, scored multiple runs in the first inning. The Bulldogs collected four straight hits off Belmont Abbey starter Brett DiPasquale (1-1) to start the frame, the last of those four a single down the left field line by Braxton Lewis that scored two runs. DiPasquale recorded a strikeout, then Daughtry stepped to the plate and ripped a 1-0 pitch over the fence in right field for his fourth home run of the year, a three-run shot that put the Bulldogs up 5-0.

In both of Saturday's games, the Crusaders (13-13, 10-7) came back to tie the game after getting behind early. But this time, Anderson kept Belmont Abbey completely off-balance and off the scoreboard.

Joey Kopp came into the game in the second inning for Belmont Abbey and kept the Bulldogs from doing further damage, tossing four scoreless innings of relief. However, Kopp was lifted in the sixth for Drew Hardee, who the Bulldogs jumped on for four more runs.

Barton loaded the bases in the sixth with two walks wrapped around a hit batsman. With two outs, Sam Pepper delivered a single to right to score two runs, and Daughtry followed with a single back up the middle to drive home two more runs. Pepper would add a solo home run in the eighth inning, his third of the season.

Spencer Sobol led Belmont Abbey at the plate, collecting a double to lead off the eighth inning and a two-run homer, his second of the year, with two outs in the ninth. Frazier also had two of the Crusaders' five total hits.

In addition to Daughtry and Pepper, Wesley Francis and Phillip Williams also collected two hits each for Barton.
