Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 ANNE ARUNDEL, Md. – Stephen Butt fanned a season-high 10 hitters in game one and Matt Outman tossed his second straight complete game in the nightcap to lead Norfolk State to a 10-3, 7-2 sweep of Friday's MEAC baseball doubleheader at Coppin State.

Butt (2-2) allowed just five hits and three runs over seven innings while registering the most strikeouts by a Spartan pitcher since teammate Justin Bhatti notched 12, also against Coppin State, on April 20, 2012. Outman (5-1) won his team-leading fifth game of the year, going all seven innings in game two while striking out a career-high eight. The pair helped NSU improve to 14-20 overall and 10-6 in the MEAC, and, coupled with a UMES sweep of Delaware State, moves the Spartans into first place in the MEAC's Northern Division.

Butt got plenty of support from his offense, which tallied five doubles and 14 total hits in the opener. Justin Lee doubled and scored on a Cameron Day sacrifice fly to give the Spartans a 1-0 in the third. NSU then broke the game open with a seven-run fifth, with all of the runs scoring with two outs. Chase Kyriacou hit a two-run single and Robert Reaume a three-run double to make it 6-0. Lee tacked on another RBI double and scored on a two-out Eagles error to stretch the lead to 8-0.

Killian Strenn added a two-run double in the sixth to complete the scoring for NSU.

Day and Andre' Moore had three hits each in the opener, while Lee was 2-for-6. Moore also swiped two bases.

Matthew Boone pitched the final two innings for NSU without giving up a hit or run. He struck out three batters.

For Coppin State (8-24, 6-10), Miranda Bryant was 2-for-5 with a run-scoring double and an RBI triple. Anderson Burgess (1-4) allowed nine hits and seven runs in 4.2 innings pitched to take the loss for CSU.

In the nightcap, Outman scattered eight hits, all singles and three of which didn't leave the infield. He walked just one and has now given up two earned runs or fewer in eight of his 10 starts this year.

Day gave NSU a 1-0 lead with an RBI single in the first, but CSU answered with two runs on four hits in the top of the second. William Brown and Jeffrey Fitch both hit RBI singles in the frame.

But the lead was short-lived, as NSU plated five runs in the bottom of the second. The Spartans – who were the home team on the scoreboard in game two as the teams made up a game previously scheduled for Norfolk – managed just two hits in the inning, but took advantage of three walks, two hit batters and a CSU error. Justin Burrell and Moore had run-scoring singles in the inning. Omar Hotusing had a sacrifice fly, while Ross Cardwell (bases-loaded walk) and Zach Markel (bases-loaded hit-by-pitch) also had RBI in the inning.

Burrell's sacrifice fly in the fifth accounted for the game's final run.

That was more than enough for Outman, who allowed only one runner to reach as far as second base after the second inning.

Moore was 2-for-3 in the nightcap with a run and an RBI. He was 5-for-7 on the day to lift his average to .306 on the year. Day went 1-for-2 in game two and was 4-for-6 in the doubleheader.

The teams play another doubleheader on Saturday starting at noon.
