QUINN MADDEN | LYNCHBURG | CENTERFIELD
Madden, a graduate student from Burke, Va., celebrated his return to the field with a pair of multi-hit games and a 1.506 OPS to help nationally sixth-ranked Lynchburg to a pair of wins in their first three outings of the season. Madden, who missed most of last season due to an injury suffered in the second week of play, went 6-for-13 with a triple, two homers, and five runs driven in to help the Hornets shutout of George Fox University (10-0) and a 7-5 triumph over Piedmont University surrounding a 4-3 setback to Rhodes College. Madden went 2-for-5 with a triple and a run scored against GFU. Against Rhodes, he went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and a sacrifice fly to account for his two RBI. Versus Piedmont, Madden helped Lynchburg recover from a 4-0 deficit with a RBI single and a two-run blast in the seventh to provide the winning margin. He went 3-for-5 overall in that contest.
