GREENSBORO, N.C. -- John Michael Bertrand pitched a complete game and John Michael Boswell went 3-for-5 and drove in three runs to power Furman past UNCG, 10-3, in the completion of Friday's suspended Southern Conference series opening contest at UNCG Baseball Stadium.

The victory was the fourth straight league triumph for Furman (11-18, 4-3 SoCon), which bolted to a 5-0 lead after two turns at bat before the game was suspended on Friday night due to rain.

The route job was the first career nine-inning complete game for Bertrand (2-2), who threw 109 pitches, including 73 strikes, allowed three runs, two earned, on eight hits while striking out five.  He issued three walks.

Boswell's one-out, RBI double in the first inning got the Paladins on the board, and Dax Roper followed with a triple to center field that plated Boswell.  Sterling Turmon completed the three-run frame with an RBI grounder.

The Paladins added two more in the second on a Boswell two-out, two-run single that stretched the lead to 5-0, after which the game was suspended.

Following the resumption of play on Saturday, Sterling Turmon made it 6-0 in the third with his team leading seventh home run of the season, a solo shot to right field.

Bertrand faced his first real challenge in the fourth when the Spartans loaded the bases, but the Paladin sophomore left-hander got out of it by retiring Mike Ferrara with an infield fly.  He retired 10 of 11 Spartans in one stretch until yielding a one-out single in the eighth.

Furman put the game on ice in the ninth, scoring four runs on a pair of hits and a Spartan error.

The Paladins pounded out 10 hits in the contest, with Roper's single, double, and triple matching Boswell's 3-for-5 performance.  Turmon went 2-for-4 and scored two runs.

UNCG starting pitcher Phillip Sanderson (2-2) took the brunt of Furman's early onslaught and the loss, surrendering five runs on five hits over just 1 2/3 innings.  He walked three.
