LAKE WALES, Fla. – In a makeup of Friday's rain out, Warner University and Southeastern University wrapped up their Sun Conference baseball series on Monday. 
The Fire clinched the series win with a 12-2 run-rule victory over the Royals in seven innings.  The loss drops the Royals' record to 12-25-1 on the year and moves their conference record to 4-12.

Jose Hernandez got the start in game three of the series and tossed the first three innings in a pitcher by committee approach for the Royals.  Four other Royals saw action on the mound including Eric Green who recorded the only scoreless relief stint of the day.  Green pitched 1.1 innings of one-hit relief and struck out two batters.

The Fire roughed up the Royals' staff for 12 runs on 12 hits in the run-rule shortened contest.

Offensively, the Royals scored two runs in the fifth inning.  Chase Coon drove in the first run with a single down the right field line.  Coon scored the second run later in the inning on a fielding error by the Fire.

The Royals totaled just three hits in the game.  Broderick Rodocker and Kevin Gregg along with Coon recorded the hits.

Hernandez (1-3) took the loss with one run allowed on four hits in three innings.

The Royals head to Daytona Beach, Fla. this weekend for their final Sun Conference series meeting with Embry-Riddle University.  The Eagles are playing their final season as NAIA members and will officially join the NCAA-II Sunshine State Conference in 2016.  Friday night's series opener will start at 6 p.m. at Sliwa Stadium.
