NEW ORLEANS, La. -- New Orleans pitching held Lamar University baseball scoreless for the second-straight game when the Privateers downed the Cardinals, 6-0, at Maestri Field Saturday afternoon in Southland Conference action. 

UNO's (19-13, 8-6 Southland) Bryan Warzek (5-0) tossed a complete game with just eight base runners allowed, five hits and three walks. The left-hander struck out five. 
 
Five Cardinals (17-15, 5-9) reached scoring position, with their biggest threats coming in the eighth and ninth innings. 
 
Bryndan Arredondo led off the eighth with a double down the left field line. Fly outs put two outs on the Cardinals, but Cutter McDowell drew a walk for two on.  Both swiped bags on a double steal and moved into scoring position, but Warzek got out of it with a ground ball. 
 
Robin Adames led off the ninth with a single up the middle and two batters later Trey Silvers poked one to left center, but the game ended on a 4-6-3 double play. 
 
Four of UNO's runs were scored in the first two innings, three in the second frame alone on Orynn Veillon's three-run home run that pushed across Hezekiah Randolph and John Cable. Randolph had his own RBI on a single up the middle that scored Cable from second base that made it 5-0 in the fourth. 
 
Aaron Palmer picked up the final RBI on a single through the right side that scored Veillon from second - after a double with one out - in the sixth. 
 
Jimmy Johnson (2-4) started the game on the mound for the Cardinals and lasted six innings with six runs, five earned, on 11 hits and three walks. Brett Brown worked two innings and closed out the game with just two hits, and stuck out two. 
 
The Cardinals collected five hits as a unit, two each from Adames and Silvers. Arredondo had the other base knock. 
 
Five Privateers had two hits each in their 13-hit outing, Palmer, Dean, Cable, Randolph and Veillon. Veillon and Cable each scored two runs. 
 
LU will try to avoid the sweep Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. before it returns home for a midweek contest with Grambling at Vincent-Beck Stadium Wednesday at 4 p.m.
