Ryan Griffith belted crucial home runs in both games of a doubleheader to lead Birmingham-Southern to a sweep over High Point, 6-5 and 4-3, Sunday at Scrushy-Striplin Field.

BSC improved to 32-16 overall and 11-6 against Big South Conference opponents. High Point fell to 12-33.

The games do not count in the Big South Conference standings, since BSC is in its final year as a provisional NCAA Division I member.

Griffith's two-run blast to right center in the bottom of the sixth of game two erased a 3-2 deficit. BSC closer Tyler Sullivan nailed down the save, his fifth of season, pitching a scoreless seventh.

In game one, Griffith led off the ninth with a solo shot down the right field line, tying the game at 5-5. After BSC loaded the bases with no outs, Jared Walker scored the winning run, beating first baseman Kemp Smith's throw to the plate following a ground ball by Adam Pease.

BSC saw a 3-0 lead evaporate as High Point struck for four runs in the seventh of game one. Matt Richardson and Matt Christie had RBI singles in the frame, but the big blow came off the bat of Matt Gorman, who drilled a two-run single that put HPU on top.

Connor Robertson's sacrifice fly tied it in the eighth, but Rey Rojas gave High Point a 6-5 lead when his two-out double off the left field wall scored Gorman from first base.

Griffith led off the ninth against starter Kevin Burch (4-7), and drilled a shot that stayed just inside the right field foul pole. Walker singled, and Michael Wydner reached when the third baseman, Christie, threw wild at first on his sacrifice bunt attempt. Pat Mizerany loaded the bases with his bunt single. Pease then hit reliever Travis Motsinger's first pitch to Smith, who was on the edge of the grass. His throw to the plate was too late as Walker raced home.

Ronny Woods (3-0) earned the win in relief of starter Josh Britnell. Woods gave up two runs on six hits with three strikeouts in 2 2/3 innings. Britnell allowed three runs on four hits with a walk and six strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings.

Burch gave up six runs, five of them earned, on 12 hits with no walks and three strikeouts in eight innings.

Cline, Griffith and Mizerany had two hits apiece for BSC, who out-hit HPU 12-10. Gorman had three hits and Ken Keesee two for High Point.

Rojas' RBI single in the first scored Colin Cronin to give High Point an early 1-0 lead in game two. BSC took the lead, however, with a pair of runs in the third. Pease's RBI groundout scored Walker, who had walked, and Matt Bogue 's two-out single to center scored Matt Barber, who had reached on an error.

HPU tied it the fourth on a sacrifice fly by Christie and later regained the lead in the sixth when Jayson Hoffman's ground ball to third was booted, allowing pinch-runner Richardson to score.

That set the table for BSC's dramatics in the sixth as Robertson reached on a fielder's choice, and was replaced by pinch-runner Scott Billak. Griffith then deposited HPU starter Matt Kniginyzky's 1-0 pitch over the right center field fence. It was his team-leading 11th home run of the season.

Griffith's homer made a winner out of BSC reliever John Crew (2-1), who worked just one-third of an inning. He followed starter Chad Durden, who allowed three runs, two earned, on six hits with a pair of walks and strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings.

Kniginyzky (1-8) allowed all four runs, three earned, on four hits with a pair of walks and strikeouts in six innings.

Cronin had two hits to pace HPU, who out-hit BSC 6-4 in game two.

The two teams conclude their series with a 4:00 pm contest Monday at Scrushy-Striplin Field.
