Pitcher Richard Sullivan and second baseman Patrick Braswell of SCAD were named the Florida Sun Conference Pitcher and Player of the Week, respectively, for their performances Feb. 10-17.

The baseball team saw its six-game win streak come to an abrupt halt when Brewton-Parker College defeated SCAD 7-2 Feb. 12 in Garden City. The Bees’ season tally of 10-2 marks the best start in the program’s history.

Casey Allen’s sacrifice fly in the fifth inning scored Ryan Claus, and Scott Shambaugh’s double brought Mike Hines home for the Bees.

The baseball team swept a doubleheader from Tennessee Temple University 10-3 and 4-1 Feb. 9 at Chain Field.

SCAD scored its first two runs on a Tennessee Temple error and an RBI single to right-center field by Braswell, who went 2-for-3 with 3 RBI in the doubleheader. Mark Stewart Jr., who went 2-for-3 with 2 RBI in the opener, had a two-run single through the left side. Braswell added a sacrifice fly, and Adam Honeycutt contributed a run-scoring ground out.

Eddie Anderson (3-0) scattered a run on two hits over six innings and struck out seven.

In the nightcap, Braswell drilled his second home run of the season, and John-Michael Craw­ford scored on a Crusader error. The Bees added insurance runs in the sixth, when Allen drove in a run with a sacrifice fly and Hines stole home.

Jeff Mullikin (2-0) earned the win, allowing just five hits in six innings. Honeycutt recorded his third save of the 2008 season with a 1-2-3 seventh inning.

Sullivan fanned a college-record 14 Crusaders over eight innings as SCAD began the weekend with a 10-2 victory over Tennessee Temple Feb. 8. His 14 strikeouts tied a SCAD mark set on March 16, 2000, by Charlie Zink, who is now a pitcher in the Boston Red Sox organization.
