Senior Neil Marshall doubled with one out in the seventh and scored one batter later on Brandon Wessels home run to left to help lift BVU to a 5-4 victory in the opener of Sunday's doubleheader.  He also doubled in a run as BVU completed the sweep with a 2-0 victory in game two.

Marshall surpasses the previous mark of 13 doubles set back in 2010 by Dubuque's Andrew Danna and BVU's Brandon Pietrzyk.  In the fifth inning, he extended the Beaver lead to 3-0 when he lined a 1-2 pitch over the left centerfield fence for his fifth home run of the year.

Noah Paper doubled home the game's first run in the second inning before making it 2-0 in the third when he reached on a bases loaded fielder's choice.

Luther did not get its first hit until the fifth when it scored its first two runs.  The Norse then tied it in the sixth with an unearned run with two outs before Wessels' go-ahead blast in the seventh.

Wes Onken, who came on in relief with two outs in the fifth, worked 1.2 innings of relief to pick up the win.  Dalton Mason worked around a leadoff solo home run in the seventh and left the tying run at second en route to his third save of the year.

Marshall, along with Tanner Truesdell, Kendall Candor and Devin Wagenman, finished with two hits in the contest as BVU outhit the Norse, 10-4.  The Beavers also handed Blake Peterson (5-1) his first loss of the year.

Jacob Hadaway pitched his first career complete-game shutout in the night game as the Beavers went on to complete the doubleheader sweep to give them a four-game lead over the Norse for second place with five games to play.

Truesdell's RBI groundout in the first put BVU on the board right away before Marshall doubled home the game's final run in the seventh.

Marshall added two more hits in the contest, as did Wessels and Micahel Zellar.  Marshall's two doubles move him into third all-time on the program's career list.

The Beavers were able to hang on for the victory despite stranding 15 runners, including the bases loaded three times.

Hadaway allowed just four hits, walked three and struck out eight as BVU picked up its first shutuout since the season-opener.

Buena Vista improves to 26-8 overall (17-5 IIAC).  It can secure a first round bye into the Iowa Conference Tournament with a split on Monday, as the two team's wrap up the four-game set at 1:00pm.
