GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Badly needing a victory in game three of a Southern Conference baseball series at Furman, the Elon Phoenix saw Kyle Webb toss a complete game as the maroon and gold claimed a 3-1 win in the final game of the set.  The Paladins won the first game of the doubleheader by a 5-4 margin.

Elon catcher Alex Swim went 2-for-4 in the first game of the day, but saw his 25-game hitting streak come to an end after going 0-for-3 with a sac fly and RBI in the last game.

Webb (3-2) was masterful in the finale, allowing one run on four hits in his first career complete game.  He struck out six.  It was the first complete game by an Elon pitcher since Jimmy Reyes tossed a complete game shutout against Samford in the 2010 Southern Conference Tournament.

Elon (19-14, 12-6 SoCon) went up 2-0 in the second inning when Quinn Bower doubled home both Ryan Kinsella and Eric Serra.

The Phoenix scored its third run on Swim's sacrifice fly in the fifth.

Webb took a shutout into the ninth before Furman (17-16, 7-8) put runners on the corners with two outs.  Paul Nitto erased the blanking when he doubled to left to drive in Jake Jones.  Webb then got a grounder to short to end the game.

Tyler Wood (3-5) took the loss as he gave up three runs on six hits in 5.1 innings.

Elon jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the first inning of the first game of the day.  With runners on the corners and two down Swim broke for second.  As the throw from the catcher was released, Sebastian Gomez charged home to complete the double steal.

The Phoenix upped its lead to 3-0 in the fourth.  Bower singled home Kinsella with the first run before Jake Luce's single drove home Chris Bresnahan.

Furman began the bottom of the fourth with a lead-off walk, an error and a single to load the bases.  Nitto then doubled home two.  The third run came in when the Phoenix tried to gun down the runner from third at the plate on a grounder, but failed to get the out.  A fourth run crossed the plate on a Jarrod Rickman single.

Swim started the Elon fifth with a double and would score on a two-out double off the bat of Joey Tomko to even the score back up at four.

Nitto again delivered the big blow, this time connecting on a 1-1 pitch for a two-out solo homer.  It proved to be the difference in the game as neither team scored over the final four innings.

Spencer Medick (0-2) took the loss by surrendering all five runs (four earned) on seven hits in 4.2 frames.  He struck out six.

Nate Smith (3-3) got the win by going five innings and allowing four runs on seven hits.

Elon will return to Latham Park for a Tuesday evening game with East Carolina.  First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m.
