Sarich gets first career win as Blue Jays split with Kenyon

FORT PIERCE, Fla. -- In their final games of spring break, the Elizabethtown College baseball team split with Kenyon. Derek Manning homered twice and Anthony Knight gave the Blue Jays the lead in the fourth as Sarich didn't allow another run and Kelly Holdren came in for the save to give E-town the split with the Lords.

Game 1: Kenyon 6, Elizabethtown 5
Mike Christy and Riley McGinley gave Elizabethtown (3-6) a 2-0 advantage in the top of the first inning. Christy singled through the left side to score JT Thompson. McGinley's double down the left field line allowed Christy to score.

Kenyon (5-3) was level after their half of the first with a pair of runs on a triple and sacrifice fly.

Knight drew a bases loaded walk to return the lead to E-town at 3-2. An inning later, still ahead by one, McGinley drove in his second run of the game with a sac fly to center. James Kantner made it 5-2 with an RBI double to center.

The Blue Jays couldn't keep the 5-2 lead over the final two innings as the Lords got one back in the fifth and produced three in the bottom half of the sixth to take their first lead of the game, 6-5.

E-town had the game-tying run at second base with no outs. Robbie Bertucio laid down the sac bunt to move the runner up to third, but Ross Scheinberg got the final two outs to deny the Jays the rally bid.

Game 2: Elizabethtown 8, Kenyon 6
Three of Kenyon's five runs in the second game of the doubleheader came on one swing in the first inning. A three-run homer gave the Lords a 3-0 lead.

Elizabethtown picked away at the deficit in the second. Bertucio singled through the right side to drive in a run. Andrew Fisher brought Bertucio home for the RBI to make it 3-2.

A second home run by Kenyon made it 5-2 in the third, but from there, they did not score the rest of the game as Joseph Sarich, Eric Sipling, Anthony Cameron, and Kelly Holdren shut down the Lords' offense.

In that time, Manning smacked one of his two homers to center to bring the Blue Jays within 5-3. In the fourth, Tyler McGonigle and Knight had RBI doubles. McGonigle's scored two and Knight knocked in McGonigle with his as E-town now led 6-5. Manning capped off the game with a two-run blast in the sixth that gave the Jays some breathing room.

Sipling, Cameron, and Holdren combined to allow only three hits in an inning of work for each. Holdren struck out the side in the seventh to earn his second save of the year.

Manning, Kantner, and McGonigle each had two hits apiece for Elizabethtown in the win. Sarich struck out four batters in four innings to get the first win of his career.

The Blue Jays will return to campus and play at Albright on Tuesday, March 12, at 3:30 p.m.
