Duke completed a three-game sweep of Mount St. Mary's with a 10-2 win on Sunday afternoon at Jack Coombs Field. Drew Counselman and Eric Smith each had RBI hits in the loss. Jonathan Anderson went 4-for-4 with three runs scored and three RBI to lead the Blue Devils to the win.
Anderson gave the Blue Devils a 1-0 lead in the first when he doubled and later scored on a Brett Bartles single. The Mount answered with a run in the second when Counselman doubled home Smith. Duke, however, took control with two runs in the bottom of the second, one in the third, and four in the fourth to take an 8-1 lead. Anderson's two-run single in the third gave Duke a 3-1 advantage.
Smith's RBI double in the fifth cut the deficit to 8-2, but Duke rounded out the scoring with a pair of runs in the seventh to earn the win.
Counselman finished 1-for-2 at the plate and Smith 1-for-4 to pace the Mount offense. Bartles was 3-for-5 with two RBI to complement Anderson's four-hit game.
The Mount returns to action on Tuesday, Feb. 20, with a twinbill at Maryland-Eastern Shore.
