Stevenson takes twin bill from Blue Jays

ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. – Elizabethtown dug itself an early hole in each half of Saturday's non-conference baseball doubleheader with Stevenson. The Blue Jays couldn't recover in time to avoid being swept by scores of 13-4 and 4-2.

GAME 1
The Blue Jays went down 1-0 in the top of the first, but responded with a three-spot in their first at-bats. Aaron Rahn and Dylan Manning drove in runs for the Blue Jays, who took advantage of a a hit, a walk and a Mustang error in the inning.

Elizabethtown's lead was wiped out in the top of the second, however. Stevenson batted around, sending 11 hitters to the plate in a seven-run inning against reigning Landmark Conference Pitcher of the Week Kevin Elwell, who entered his third start of the season having not allowed a run in 14 innings of work.

Ian Eberly's two-run double, Craig Joseph's bases-clearing two-bagger to the gap in right and a two-out, two-run double off the bat of Matt Myers accounted for all seven runs off Elwell in the frame.

Eberly would double in catcher Jake Dimon in the the third and Anthony Lippy plunked Nick Peifer as Stevenson (6-6) opened up a 10-3 lead.

Elizabethtown got one run back in the fifth on a Richy Masciarelli fielder's choice that plated Ryan Shirk, but the Mustangs scored three times in the top of the seventh to pad its advantage.

The Mustangs' 1-4 hitters combined for seven hits, eight RBIs and eight runs scored. Joseph went 3-for-5 with four RBIs, while Eberly was 3-for-5 and knocked in three. First baseman Kevin Kopas drew four walks and Alec Romanowski went the distance on the hill to improve to 2-0.

Romanowski allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits. He walked two and struck out two. Elwell was chased after two innings, giving up eight runs (seven earned) on seven hits. Lippy struck out five over four innings.

GAME 2
Craig Joseph launched a two-run homer just three batters into the game and Stevenson rode a three-run first inning to the sweep.

The Mustangs (6-6) supplemented Joseph's round-tripper with a run that came on the heels of some sloppy play in the field by the Blue Jays. They'd score another in the fifth on a single from Myers to go up 4-0.

E-town got both of its runs in the bottom of the fifth. Shirk walked and moved to second on a groundout by Fackler. The Blue Jays tried to conjure some two-out magic with Masciarelli's single to right center knocking in Shirk and Dylan Manning drawing a bases-loaded walk.

Stevenson called on Trevor Fitzsimmons to face Brian Portillo, and Fitzsimmons induced a pop-up to end the inning.

A pair of free passes to Colby Smith and Aaron Rahn and two passed balls in the seventh had the tying run in scoring position for the Blue Jays, but Fitzsimmons again got Portillo to pop-up to end the game.

Fackler's third-inning single left him three hits shy of 100 in his career.

Masciarelli had two hits in four at-bats, but the Blue Jays only managed five in game two and 10 over the duration of the doubleheader.

Christopher Perez scattered three hits over four scoreless innings for the win, while Sean Jones took the loss with four runs allowed and four strikeouts in 4.2 innings.

The Blue Jays face off against former MAC Commonwealth foe Lebanon Valley at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday in Annville.
