Emory Notes
Sunday's 10-6 loss to Methodist was just the second time this season that the Eagles have lost a game in which they have scored six or more runs… Emory is undefeated (12-0) when it scores at least eight runs, and 15-1 when it out-hits its opponent… Iturrey has hit safely in nine-straight games for Emory, matching the third-longest hitting streak of the season by an Eagle… Freshman first baseman Ben Vizvary went 8-for-12 over three games last week, raising his season batting average from .207 to .341… He drove in five runs during the week, four of which came with two outs.
