BEREA, Ky..--- Graduate student Eli Wilder's six strikeouts in five innings and 18 hits for the Asbury baseball (10-11) offense led the Eagles past Berea College on Wednesday night in Berea, Ky., 16-4. 

Asbury's 18 hits are the most in a game this season, while 16 runs ties a season-high with the opening game of the season against Rockford. 


"We weren't able to execute early on, but we got our offense rolling halfway through the game and got a big win. Hopefully we can take this momentum into the weekend."
