MOUNT OLIVE, N.C. - Aaron Guinn delivered four hits and Alexi Colon homered twice as second-seeded and second-ranked Tusculum College remained undefeated in the NCAA Division II Southeast Regional with a 7-2 win over fourth-seeded and sixth-ranked Francis Marion University early Saturday morning. Due to postponements caused by Thursday night rain, the contest did not finish until 2:30 a.m.

Both teams advanced to Saturday's third round. Francis Marion meets Lander at 1 p.m. while Tusculum will meet the winner of that game at 8 p.m.

The Pioneers pounded out 14 hits against three Patriot pitchers in support of starting pitcher Taylor Rakes (10-1). Rakes scattered 10 hits, all singles, in a complete game victory.

Tusculum never trailed after a pair of runs in the top of the second. With one out, Heath Comerford and Nate Reid delivered one-out singles and Tripper Crisson walked to load the bases. Lukas Graves brought in the first run with a groundout, then Guinn's first hit made it 2-0.

One inning later, Carlos Santana brought home a third run with a groundout.

In the fourth, Francis Marion fought back with two runs of its own. Singles by Jarrod Reed and Stephen Tarkenton got things started, and Tyler Boyd singled home one run, and an error cut the deficit to 3-2.

Francis Marion got no closer. In the fifth, Colon's 20th homer stretched the lead back to 4-2; then Cody Coffman delivered his eighth homer in the seventh, a solo blast to right.

Rakes allowed just one earned run, while striking out a career-best nine. Jarrod Reed and Jacob Golliday had two hits apiece for the Patriots. Starter Matt Broderick (8-3) took the loss.
