Furman torches Elon in tournament opener

By Andrew Wilson

Elon University senior starting pitcher Kyle Webb was a perfect 6-0 in Southern Conference play this season, making him a clear choice to start Wednesday’s SoCon tournament opener against host Furman University in Greenville, S.C. The Phoenix fell behind on runs in each of the first three innings and couldn’t recover, dropping the opener of the tournament 10-1. After a delay with one out in the top of the first inning due to lightning in the area, the game resumed after Will Muzika singled and scored on a triple to center from Greg Harrison. Chris Ohmstede put Furman up 2-0 with a one-out home run to left field in the top of the second.

After each slur, an individual student said: "Don't accept it, speak against it."
