RICHMOND, Ky. – Sophomore Logan Thomason went 6-for-8 with three doubles, four runs scored and three RBIs in both games of Eastern Kentucky's doubleheader sweep of Siena College on Sunday at Earle Combs Stadium.  With the wins, the Colonels complete the four-game weekend sweep of the Saints.
 
Eastern won game one 8-3.  Thomason went 4-for-4 with a double, two runs and two RBIs in the opener.  EKU earned an 11-2 win, in seven innings, in game two.  The Richmond native was 2-for-4 with two doubles, two runs and an RBI in the second contest.
 
In game one, EKU grabbed a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the second when Daniel Harris IV hit a 2-run home run over the wall in left center. 
 
The Colonels pulled away with five runs in the bottom of the fifth.  Thomason drove in two with a single to center.  Two batters later, Christian Lucio's single brought home another run to make it 5-0.  Thomason later stole home and Nick Howie's bases loaded walk forced in the final run of the inning to make it 7-0.
 
Lucio was 2-for-3 with four stolen bases, a run and an RBI.  Eastern had eight stolen bases in game one.  Jake Lewis (2-1) started on the mound and allowed just one run on four hits, walked two and struck out five in five and one-third innings.  It was the longest outing of his career and he tied his career-best for strike outs in a game.
 
In game two, Howie staked Eastern Kentucky to a first inning 1-0 lead when he hit his first home run of the season.  After Siena (0-12) went in front 2-1 in the top of the third on a 2-run home run off the bat of Pat O'Hare, the Colonels answered with three runs in the bottom half. 
 
Thomason's RBI double to left center tied the score.  Harris followed with a RBI double to left.  A ground ball from Charlie Ludwick was enough to score Harris and make it 4-2.
 
Lucio's 2-run home run highlighted a 4-run fifth inning that pushed Eastern Kentucky ahead 9-2.  It was his third of the season.
 
Harris was 2-for-3 with two runs and an RBI in the second game.  Ludwick went 3-for-4 with two runs and three RBIs.
 
Bryce Mordecki had two of Siena's four hits in the game.  O'Hare had the other two, finishing 2-for-3 with a run and two RBIs.
 
"Any time you can start off the home season 4-0 is always good," EKU Head Coach Edwin Thompson said.  "Siena battled really hard all weekend.  In game two today I thought we did a good job of being consistent offensively throughout the game.  Our bullpen did an outstanding job.  I thought overall this weekend we played really good defense and that's what I wanted to see from our team."
 
The Colonels will host Norfolk State for three games next weekend.  Friday's series opener is scheduled for 4 p.m.
