LA MIRADA, Calif. --- Biola scored 33 runs and pounded out 33 hits but still had to fight back from a big deficit to sweep a doubleheader against San Diego Christian College, winning game one 16-4 and fighting back to win 17-15 in the second game on Thursday.

The Eagles improve to 14-6 in conference with their seventh win in their last nine games and move to 8-5 in conference play. The Hawks drop to 2-15 and to 2-12 in the GSAC.

Biola had a field day offensively, recording 33 hits including six doubles, a triple and six home runs--two of which were grand slams. Senior Daniel Bodemer blasted one of the grand slams to highlight the offensive explosion in game one while sophomore Vinnie Fayard added a slam and seven RBIs in the second game.

In addition, the Eagles also got a strong pitching performance by Alex Brueske in the first game. Brueske  surrendered just six hits and one run over seven innings to pick up his fourth win of the season.

The second game was a wild slugfest. San Diego Christian opened the game with nine runs in the first two innings. But the Eagles came roaring back, starting with a quick run in the bottom of the second.

In the third, Biola would add three thanks to an error by the Hawks and an RBI-single by Boone Farrington.

The Eagles would get within one run after a four-run fourth inning with an RBI-single by Fayard followed by a three-run blast by Trevor Blood.

After San Diego Christian plated a run in the top of the fifth, but left the bases loaded, Biola responded in a big way. A two-out, bases-loaded walk drove in one run, but it was a grand slam by Fayard which completed the comeback and put Biola on top 13-10 after five.

But the teams were just getting started. The Hawks scored two runs in the sixth and had a chance to tie the game but Christopher Neal gunned out Scott Whittet at the plate attempting to score on a sacrifice fly to end the inning.

Biola got those runs back in the bottom of the sixth on a two-run shot by Bodemer, his second of the day, making it 15-12 heading into the seventh.

San Diego Christian scored one run in the top of the seventh and plated two in the eighth, tying the game on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Luis Perez.

Biola saved its finally rally for the end, though. With two out and runners at first and second, Fayard came through with yet another clutch, late-inning hit, driving a triple to right to make it 17-15.

The Eagles would keep the Hawks off the board in the ninth as Kyle Atkins retired the side to earn the win in relief.

Game one wasn't nearly as exciting, unless you were a fan of Biola. The Eagles put the great pitching of Brueske together with a 16-run offensive eruption to cruise the victory.

After scoring three runs in the second inning, Biola broke the game open with Bodemer's slam in the third. Farrington and Garrett Leon would lead off the fourth with back-to-back home runs and Brent Opdkye would add a two-run single to give Biola an 11-0 lead after four innings.

The Eagles would add an unearned run in the fifth and--after SDCC got a run in the top of the sixth--would add another in the bottom of the sixth on a solo home run by Josh Burket.

Biola capped its scoring with three runs in the seventh thanks to a trio of RBI-singles. The Hawks would score three run in the top of the ninth, but it was too little too late.

Leon and Fayard each recorded five hits in nine at-bats, to pace the Biola offense. Each had a home run with Fayard finishing the second game a double short of the cycle.

The two teams close out the four-game series with a doubleheader in El Cajon on Saturday beginning at Noon.
