HARRISONBURG, Va. - Radford smacked 19 hits and got production from all nine hitters in the lineup, rolling past James Madison 14-3 in non-conference baseball at Long Field/Mauck Stadium on Tuesday afternoon.

The win for the Highlanders (8-9) was the fourth straight in the series against JMU, and fifth win in the last six tries against the Dukes (14-10).

Seven of the nine Radford starters produced multi-hit afternoons, and senior first baseman Alex Gregory (Great Falls, Va./Paul VI) reached base a total of five times. Gregory, who went 2-for-3 and drew three walks (two intentional), added three RBI and scored three times. His single with two outs to center field pushed across freshman second baseman Brett Mollenhauer (Roanoke, Va./Hidden Valley) to put Radford ahead, 1-0, in the top of the first. In the sixth inning, Gregory lifted a double to left center field, scoring a pair to give the Highlanders an 11-2 lead.

Radford also got three-RBI afternoons from senior third baseman Nick Minter (Virginia Beach, Va./Salem) and junior right fielder Reggie Keen (Danville, Va./GW-Danville). With two outs in the top of the fourth, Keen (2-for-6) launched a double off the left field wall to bring in a pair and give the Highlanders a 7-1 lead, then Minter (3-for-5) followed Keen with his two-run single to right center to open up a 9-1 advantage.

The Highlanders also got three hits each from its freshman middle infield combination of Mollenhauer and Jeff Kemp (Bowie, Md./Archbishop Spalding). Mollenhauer added four runs to his day's work.

Backing up Radford's outburst, the fourth double-digit scoring effort in six games, was freshman left-hander Paul DeVito's (Annapolis, Md./Archbishop Spalding) seven-inning performance. DeVito (3-0), who won his second straight start against JMU, allowed three runs on nine hits and fanned four in seven innings.

First baseman Trevor Knight led the Dukes with a 3-for-4 afternoon and an RBI. Second baseman Mike Fabiaschi added a 2-for-3 day, scoring on Knight's single in the third inning.

Left-hander James Weiner (1-2) took the loss for JMU, allowing four runs, one earned in 1 1/3 innings.

Weather permitting; Radford will host Appalachian State in a 3 p.m. first pitch on Wednesday.
