CONWAY, S.C. – Coastal Carolina rolled to a doubleheader sweep of Radford, 8-0 in the first game and 15-0 in the second game on Saturday.

In the second game, Coastal piled up 21 hits with a five-run fourth, and a six-run seventh. Keith Hardwick got the Chanticleers on the board with a two-run homer in the second, his fourth of the year. Tommy LaStella hit his league-leading 11th homer of the season in the seventh, a two-run blast, and Taylor Motter added a two-run home run later in the inning.

Josh Conway worked five scoreless innings on the way to the win (7-1), leading five Coastal Carolina pitchers in the combined shutout effort.

Game three of the series has been moved up to a noon start, with the potential for foul weather.
