ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. -- Justin Cherry earned his first win of the season Wednesday at Kevin Scott Boyd Stadium for the Elizabethtown College baseball team in a 6-3 win over Lebanon Valley. The Blue Jays' staff allow only three runs over the nine innings and Joseph Sarich earned his first save with a spotless ninth inning for E-town. Derek Manning and Mike Christy each homered for the Jays in the win.
