IRVINE, Calif. – At one point during Saturday's doubleheader, "Can't Stop" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers blared over the loud speakers. It was a fitting song for the Eagles offense which racked up 22 runs on 18 hits to earn a pair of wins over the visiting Regis Rangers.

Concordia University Irvine improved to 5-2 overall and 3-0 at home by sweeping the doubleheader. The defense was also superb with multiple pitchers dazzling on the mound while CUI's fielders were extremely sharp.

Game 1: CUI 12, Regis 1

In the first game of the day, Jair Donovan blasted his second homer of the season when he sent a screamer over the right field wall in the third inning. The two-run bomb put the Eagles on the board and they never trailed. Later that inning, Bailey Collins hustled around the bases for a RBI triple and then scored on Ryan Johnston's RBI single up the middle to make it 4-0 Eagles.

Cooper Moore continued his sizzling start at the plate with a solo shot in the seventh. His moonshot was hit to deep right-center to make it 8-1 Eagles and gave the Huntington Beach, Calif. native three homers in two days. CUI scored five times in that seventh inning to give the pitching staff an even bigger cushion. Catcher Juan Zuniga contributed a RBI single and Derek Delgado and Haloa Dudoit also plated one run each on productive RBI groundouts.

Colton Snyder started the game with three scoreless innings on the bump. Matt Williams (1-0) entered in the fourth and only allowed one run over the course of four frames to earn the victory. Nathaniel Tapia also got some tidy work in and held the Rangers to a pair of zeros in the eighth and ninth with back-to-back 1-2-3 innings.

Donovan and Shane Hersh also provided a couple highlight-reel plays on defense. When the game was still 0-0 in the second, Hersh took a relay throw from Donovan after an extra-base hit to the right-field corner and threw a strike to Zuniga at the plate to nail a Ranger trying to score.

Donovan later had his own impressive putout when he threw out another Ranger trying to stretch a single into a double in the seventh.

"The energy that comes off of that, when you throw somebody out at home, we really fed off our defense today when the ball was put in play by Regis," said CUI head coach Joe Turgeon.

"They did hit some balls hard today and kudos to them. We were making nearly every single play defensively, and that just doesn't happen in our game of baseball. One of the things we talked to the team about today was how proud we were of the defense they played and obviously when we get good starting pitching like we did and you get all the pitchers throwing strikes, good things happen."

Game 2: CUI 10, Regis 0

The offense was at it again in the second game of the doubleheader. Hersh knocked in four runs and Bailey Collins went yard in the fourth inning for his second homer of the season. PacWest Freshman of the Week Shane Schick and catcher Tony Garcia III each scored twice and supplied a hit.

"We're going to try to continue swinging the hot sticks right now. We've had a lot of good quality at-bats and guys are playing good team offense. It's not just one guy every day, it's up and down the lineup, everybody is contributing ."

Starting pitcher Jimmy Endersby (2-0) pitched four scoreless innings with a few MLB scouts looking on and was impressive. He struck out nine batters out of a possible 12 outs and only allowed one hit to get the victory.

Chase Lyford also pitched a scoreless frame and Logan Mahaffy only gave up one hit without allowing any damage for the combined shutout.

"Hats off to them and hopefully we can ride the wave," said Hersh. "It's really nice having our pitchers throwing a lot of strikes and our offense backing it up."

The Eagles hope to get their last game of the series with Regis in on Sunday, Feb. 9. Rain is in the forecast but as of Saturday evening, the game is still scheduled to be played at newly renovated Eagles Field at 12 p.m. on Sunday.
