EAGLE POINT — Eagle Point pitcher Wade McCready already has a no-hitter to his credit this season, and the junior right-hander added a complete-game shutout to his resume Saturday in helping the Eagles to a Southern Sky Conference sweep of Mazama.

McCready posted nine strikeouts and scattered seven hits with three walks in a 7-0 triumph over the visiting Vikings in Game 2 of the doubleheader. Eagle Point (5-6, 2-1 SSC) won the first game 7-4.

On April 1, McCready tossed a no-hitter in a 9-1 win over Hidden Valley. He improved his record to 3-0 on Saturday.

Garrett Davis and Derek Tuttle each went 2-for-4 with one run and one RBI in the nightcap, while Brian Hodgkins — who played catcher for each game — was 3-for-4 with one run and one RBI.

Senior Brian Smith was equally as effective on the mound in the opener, notching a two-hitter with seven strikeouts to offset five walks and three hit batsmen.

Hodgkins was 2-for-3 with one run and one RBI in Game 2, with the Eagles breaking a 4-all tie in the fifth after a leadoff single by Dwight McLaughlin and an RBI single by Smith.

Brandon Hauser scored on a passed ball and Hodgkins scored on a Tyson Brownlee groundout in the sixth to pad EP's lead.
