ST. DAVIDS, Pa. - Coming off of its home series with Hood, Eastern Baseball bounced back with a 9-4 win over the Rosemont College Ravens on Tuesday at the Yard. First-year pitcher
Graham Adams picked six effective frames to record his third win, and the Eagles scored three crucial runs in the eighth inning to secure their 13th win of the season.
Logan Klember finished with four hits in five at-bats, while
Connor Schilling and
Ryan Turzani each recorded a pair of hits and combined for three RBIs.
Joe Paradise and
Brian Lang both added a hit and two RBIs.
Adams (3-0) pitched another efficient game on the bump, going six strong with just three hits allowed and six strikeouts to go along with one earned run allowed. After giving up a pair of runs in the second, he allowed just two baserunners in the final four frames he pitched.
Eastern struck first in the second inning, scoring a pair of runs. Schilling led off with a single, before Turzani reached on a Rosemont fielding error. A throwing error by the Ravens shortly after allowed Schilling to score on a stolen base attempt, and a subsequent RBI groundout from Paradise put the Eagles ahead 2-0.
The Ravens tied the game in the second on a hit and two Eastern errors, but the Eagles took the lead back for good in the bottom of the third. Three straight singles from Paradise,
Brock Langlotz, and Klember loaded the bases, and Paradise would later score on a double play to put Eastern back ahead 3-2.
In the fourth, after a double from
Jason Hall, Turzani singled and reached third on another Rosemont fielding miscue, scoring Hall to push the Eastern advantage to 4-2. After a quick 1-2-3 fifth, Lang hit his third home run of the season, a two-run shot to left field, to make it a 6-2 Eastern lead.
Rosemont threatened in the seventh, loading the bases and scoring on a base-loaded hit by pitch, but reliever
Logan Culp ended the threat with a strikeout on a 3-2 count, squashing the Ravens' best chance of the afternoon.
The Eagles added three big insurance runs in the eighth.
Leyton Bamesberger worked a one-out walk and stole both second and third, and Schilling drove him in with a single through the right side to make it 7-4. Turzani followed with an RBI double, and Paradise capped off the scoring with a deep sacrifice fly to right center field.
Eastern (13-18) returns to conference play this Friday in a single, nine-inning contest against Albright. First pitch is scheduled for 3:30 pm at The Yard.
