ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa.-- The Elizabethtown College baseball team completed the three-game Landmark Conference series against Juniata, Tuesday afternoon. The Blue Jays took down the Eagles, 12-4 with a season-high 18 hits.

The Blue Jays bats came alive just in the first inning as they scored five runs on six hits. Tyler McGonigle started off the inning with a double to right center. Robbie Bertucio brought McGonigle home on a single up the middle. After Bertucio advanced on a balk, Quinten Perilli brought in David Woolley and Bertucio with a double through the left side. Etown led, 3-0 with one out. AJ Bednar hit a RBI single to third, scoring Perilli and then scored on James Vito's single to the shortstop. After the first inning, Etown led Juniata, 5-0. 

After the Blue Jays forced the Eagle's pitcher to retire after one, Elizabethtown scored their sixth run in the bottom of the second. The third inning was scoreless, before Juniata put up their first run in the top of the fourth. Ben Watson then started off the bottom of the fourth knocking one out of the park to right field for the Blue Jays lone run of the fourth.

After being hit by a pitch then advancing on a ground out to third, Justin Wetzel scored off Berturcio's RBI single to left field. Watson was also hit by a pitch, advanced on Bertucio's single then went home on Woolley's double down the right field line.
