BOX SCORE HIGH POINT, N.C. (www.BigSouthSports.com) – Dusty Quattlebaum hit two home runs and Beau Hilton pitched a complete game four-hitter in leading No. 4 Gardner-Webb past No. 5 Radford, 11-0, in Game 9 of the 2012 Big South Baseball Championship presented by Brookwood Farms BBQ and Triangle Rent A Car at Williard Stadium on the campus of High Point University. 

The Runnin' Bulldogs improve to 32-27 and will play No. 3 Liberty in the semifinals on Friday.  Radford falls to 29-28-1 and is eliminated from the tournament.   

Hilton scattered four hits and three walks in his first career complete game.  He struck out three batters in picking up his seventh win of the season.  Quattlebaum finished with three this and four RBI.  Adam McFarland also had three hits and Scott Johnson tallied three RBI.  GWU's 16 hits tied its previous best in a Big South tournament game.

Radford's Tyler Costello (7-3) allowed eight hits and eight runs in five innings on the mound.  He walked two and struck out two.  Brett Mollenhauer had two of Radford's four hits -- his fourth-straight multi-hit game in the tournament.  

Hilton and Radford starter Costello matched zeroes the first three innings.  Hilton allowed one hit in the span, while Costello permitted two hits.  Gardner-Webb threatened in the bottom of the first by loading the bases when McFarland singled with one out, John Harris was hit-by-pitch and Scott Coleman singled to right.  But Costello got Quattlebaum to fly out to shallow left field and struck out Brad Collins to get out of the jam.

The Runnin' Bulldogs eventually took a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the fourth.  Coleman walked and moved to second on Quattlebaum's fielder's choice.  Collins advanced both runners with a sacrifice, and Ryan Hodge was intentionally walked to load the bases.  Johnson then doubled down the left field line to plate Coleman and Quattlebaum, and Will Canady's groundout brought home Hodge.

Quattlebaum made it 5-0 in the bottom of the fifth with a two-run home run to center that scored McFarland.  Gardner-Webb tallied another three runs in the bottom of the sixth on a run-scoring single from Johnson and a two-run double from Benji Jackson that pushed its lead to 8-0.   

Quattlebaum's second blast of the day was a two-run shot that made it 11-0 in the eighth.  It was his third homer of the tournament (fourth career tournament home run) and 10th of the season.    

With Liberty blanking Campbell 7-0 in the first contests of the day, this marks the first time in the history of the Big South postseason that back-to-back tournament games resulted in shutouts.

NOTES: Radford ended the season with a winning record for the fourth straight year ... it's the first time in school history that the Highlanders have posted four years in a row with a record better than .500 ... From 1992-95, Radford posted four straight years at .500 or better, but went 26-26 in 1994 ... Four year members of the Radford program collected a 115-103-1 record, the most for a senior class in school history
