By TY
Box Score
The Nashville Outlaws brought heavy lumber to yard on Thursday as they pounded out a franchise record 22 hits en route to a 15-4 win over West Virginia to win its third straight game at Hawkins Field. A season-high 11 different Outlaws recorded a hit Thursday, including six with multi-hit games.
West Virginia (23-19) arrived to Hawkins Field riding a six-game winning streak and tied for the Eastern Division lead before getting knocked around for 22 hits.
The game got out of hand quick for the Miners as the Outlaws jumped out to an early 9-1 lead after just three innings. Nashville recorded 13 hits in the first three innings, including seven during a five-run third.
Holding a 9-1 lead after three innings, Nashville would tack on five more runs in the next two innings to take a comfortable 14-4 lead after five complete. By the end of the fifth inning, the Outlaw lineup had tallied 18 hits already while the top of the Outlaw order had already batted five times.
Nashville also had a franchise record four guys with at least three hits in the same game.
Leadoff man Johnny Amann (Judson) led the Outlaws with a perfect 4-for-4 night with a walk and run scored. Amann is hitting .556 (10-for-18) over his last four games and has raised his batting average to a season-high .301.
Bryan Johns (Vanderbilt) recorded his second three-hit game in four days, going 3-for-5 with 3 RBI, a double and run scored on Thursday out of the No. 2 hole.
Andrew Brouillette drove in a team-high four runs with a 3-for-5 night, including a two-run triple in the third while Sam Dove (Georgia Tech) went 3-for-6 with an RBI and run scored.
Jared Fancher (TCU) went 2-for-5 with three runs scored and two runs batted in while Doug Joyce (Florida International) went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI.
PJ Francescon (Trevecca Nazarene) made his third start of the season for the Outlaws Thursday, allowing three runs on five hits in four innings of work before leaving the game with an undisclosed injury.
College teammate Craig Stem came into relieve Francescon in the fourth and was very efficient on the mound. Stem (1-1) allowed just one run on one hit in a season-high five innings of relief to earn his first win as an Outlaw.
Fans at Hawkins Field were also treated to some fantastic defensive plays during the slugfest. Jack Lupo (Vanderbilt), Brouillette and Fancher all made web-gem, highlight diving catches Thursday.
With the win the Outlaws improve to 20-19 overall, including 6-5 in the second half of the season.
The Outlaws will play the Miners again tomorrow at 6 p.m. at Hawkins Field.

Joyce's Homers Lead Outlaws Past Springfield
By TY
Box Score | Season Stats
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - With Nashville trailing 3-0 in the sixth inning on Monday, Outlaw catcher Doug Joyce answered the call. Joyce (Florida International) belted a grand-slam and two-run shot to account for all of Nashville’s 6 runs as the Outlaws defeated the Sliders 6-3 at Robin Roberts Stadium on Monday evening.
Trailing 3-0 in the sixth, Joyce got the Outlaws within a run when he connected on a two-run shot off Springfield starter Mark Winkelman in the top of the inning. Kevin Smith led off the sixth with a double down the right field line before Joyce launched his third homer of the year.
One inning later, newly-acquired Matt Borgschulte (Western Kentucky) was hit by Austin Cole. Johnny Amann (Judson) then reached base on a error by the right-fielder before Smith was hit by Springfield reliever Pat Gannon. With one-out and bases loaded Joyce stepped up to the plate and delivered his biggest hit of the summer, a grand slam over the outfield wall for his team-leading fourth round-tripper of the year.
Joyce’s grand slam gave the Outlaws a 6-3 lead and from there the bullpen tossed three innings of scoreless relief.
Andrew Bridgewater (Carson-Newman) allowed three runs, only one earned in six-innings while striking out four to improve to 3-1. Matt Fitton (Sacred Heart) struck out two of the three batters he faced in the seventh while Chris Stem (Trevecca Nazarene) allowed two-hits in a scoreless eighth inning for his Outlaw debut.
Staff closer Jon Ivie (Belmont) pitched a scoreless ninth to earn his seventh save in as many chances while running his scoreless innings streak to 15.1 innings.
Borgschulte and Joyce led the Outlaws with two hits apiece. Borgschulte is 5-for-7 (.714) in his first two games as an Outlaw.
The Outlaws (2-3) will play the Danville Dans Tuesday and Wednesday in Danville, Ill. Both games will start at 6:30 p.m.
