Drury pounded out season highs of 15 runs and 17 hits in a 15-3 victory over Lewis that earned the Panthers a split of their Great Lakes Valley Conference opening doubleheader on Sunday afternoon at Meador Park.

Lewis claimed a 10-2 victory in the seven-inning nightcap to halve the day's play entering a final doubleheader between the squads at noon Monday at Meador.

Drury is 4-6 overall and 1-1 in the league after Sunday's home opener, while Lewis is 5-5 and 1-1.

Senior catcher Tyler Arthur had the big bat for the Panthers on the afternoon, clubbing a grand slam in the opener as part of a 2-for-3 day with 5 RBIs, then adding a two-run homer in the second game, one of only three hits mustered by DU against Lewis pitcher Eann Cox.

In the opener, Lewis got to DU starter Trevor Richards (1-2) for a run in the second, but the Panthers quickly countered with a six-run third keyed by Arthur's bases-clearing blast. Richards went on to hold the Flyers to six hits and that one run over six innings of work, striking out six and walking none.

Nine different Panthers had a hit in the opener, including three hits and two RBIs from Luke Tewes, three hits and three runs scored by Bobby Lang, and two hits apiece from Ryan Wadkins (two RBIs), Arthur, John Goodrich and Ryan Colombo.

The Panthers scored twice in the fifth to make it 8-1, then put it away with a seven-run sixth, the big blow a two-run double by Wadkins.

Game Two was a diffferent story, as the Panthers saw the Flyers break up a scoreless start with four runs in both the third and fourth innings off senior right-hander Austin Faulconer, but only three earned after three errors behind the DU pitcher helped lead to a Lewis breakout.

Cox improved to 3-0 for the Flyers, going the seven-inning distance and allowing just three hits and two runs while striking out 10 and walking two, shutting out the Panthers until Arthur's two-run homer to left in the seventh, his third on the season.

After Monday's 7-9 doubleheader with the Flyers, the Panthers will play host to Southwest Baptist at 4 p.m. Tuesday in a single nine-inning game at Meador. Drury is tentatively set to play Arkansas Tech in a pair at Meador on Wednesday, weather-permitting, at a time to be announced.
