Sarich, Cherry hold down Drew in Blue Jays' win

ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. -- The Elizabethtown College baseball team got a quality start out of Joseph Sarich and Justin Cherry went the final three innings to earn the save as the Blue Jays beat Drew, 8-3. Mike Christy hit two triples and Riley McGinley had a game-high three RBIs for E-town.

HOW IT HAPPENED
- Elizabethtown (13-25, 6-10 Landmark) was on the board with a run in the first and third, both thanks to RBI triples from Christy. Andrew Fisher scored from first on Christy's three-bagger in the bottom half of the first. Anthony Knight crossed home on Christy's second in as many at-bats in the third. That made it 2-0 for the Jays.
- With Christy 90 feet from home, McGinley singled in his first of three runs with a base knock.
- Tyler McGonigle scored on an error by Drew (19-15, 7-9 Landmark) in the fourth. McGinley drove in Derek Manning and Knight with a two-RBI single that increased E-town's lead to 6-0.
- Knight singled home Arley Shepherd in the fifth and McGonigle scored on a wild pitch in the same inning.
- Jon Cocchio singled in a run in the sixth to break up the shutout.
- Sarich tied a season-high with six strikeouts and six innings pitched. Cherry relieved Sarich in the seventh.
- The Rangers put up two more on a two-run homer from Matthew Lange in the seventh.
- Cherry allowed only the one hit and fanned three over three effective innings of work to earn the save.
- Elizabethtown's one through seven batters each had at least one hit, led by McGinley's three and multi-hit efforts from Fisher, Knight, and Christy.

UP NEXT
Weather will play a factor in the final two games of the Landmark Conference series between the two sides, scheduled to resume this weekend at Kevin Scott Boyd Stadium.
