HAVERFORD, Pa.—Eastern University Baseball collected a 7-5 road win against the Haverford College Fords on Tuesday afternoon.

Pitching by committee, the Eagles kept the Fords scoreless in the first three and final three innings. Austin Little pitched a nearly-perfect first two innings. He only allowed one baserunner on a leadoff error, but erased him with a double play. Then he pitched a perfect second inning.

Chris Marinaccio picked up the win for the Eagles in two innings of relief. Tommy Strazza moved from second base to the mound in the eighth and earned the two-inning save.

Angelo Kelly sparked Eastern's offense from the leadoff spot. The right fielder batted 2-for-4 with three RBIs. Three other batters tallied two-hit games: Ryan McMenamin, Joe Grato and Eric Rossi. Those three each had an RBI.

The Eagles recorded 10 hits overall and demonstrated patience at the plate with nine walks. Kelly, McMenamin and Rossi all had two walks to go with their two hits.

Eastern jumped to a 2-0 lead in the first inning. The Eagles loaded the bases with the first three batters and then cleanup man Grato did his job and knocked in a run with a single to left. Rossi then forced in a run with a walk.

The Eagles added two more in the third after loading the bases with one out. Tommy Strazza batted in Rossi with a single to right field, and then Kelly put the ball in play, reaching on a fielder's choice and scoring Cal Sanelli.

Haverford struck back with all five of their runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. The Fords took the lead in the sixth on a squeeze bunt and threatened to increase the lead. With runners on second and third, however, Andrew Check came up with an inning-ending catch in center field.

Eastern took back the lead in the seventh, scoring two runs on a single by Kelly. McMenamin batted in Check for an insurance run, increasing Eastern's lead to 7-5.

Eastern (3-8) plays its first home game of the year on Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. against Washington College.
