By Bryan Anderson

Elon University freshman Danny Crowe delivered a walk-off single in the 13th inning in his first at-bat of the season to give the Elon University Phoenix an 8-7 win and series sweep against the James Madison Dukes. After trailing 1-0 by the middle of the second inning, Elon senior Chris King responded with a solo homer to left field in the bottom of the second and a 2 RBI homer to right center in the bottom of the third. The Phoenix added to its lead with three runs in the fifth after a sacrifice fly from Cooper, a passed ball from the Dukes and an RBI single from freshman James Venuto. But the Dukes refused to go away quietly. James Madison scored a pair in the top of the seventh and cut the deficit to two by the middle of the eighth. After Elon delivered an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth to go up 7-4, James Madison's offense exploded. Senior Jake Stalzer came in relief in the top of the ninth with a runner on first.

Pi Kappa Phi suspended until January 2017

By Caroline Fernandez

Elon University, in conjunction with the national office of Pi Kappa Phi, closed the Epsilon Alpha chapter of Pi Kappa Phi March 17 until January 2017, according to an email to The Pendulum from Smith Jackson, dean of students. This comes more than a month after the fraternity was suspended indefinitely for allegations of hazing. Jackson said a campus investigation and conduct hearing determined that new members of the fraternity were hazed during the spring pledge period and the chapter hosted an unapproved event off-campus with alcohol. “The decision to remove Pi Kappa Phi follows a pattern over several years of discipline for violations of the Elon Honor Code,” Jackson said.
