The Emory University baseball team posted a season-high 17 runs to upend Wittenberg University Tuesday afternoon at Chappell Park in Atlanta.

The Eagles scored 15 unanswered runs to win their eighth game of the year, defeating the Tigers 17-2 in the first of two games in the spring break series.

Ten different players recorded at least one RBI with junior Jacob Grossman and senior Ellis Schwartz pacing the Emory offense with a pair of three-RBI performances. Grossman added three hits on the day, one of four Eagles with two or more hits.

Senior Aaron Mishoulam, the reigning UAA Pitcher of the Week, earned his second straight win as he worked into the sixth inning. Mishoulam worked around seven walks and three hits, allowing two runs in 5.2 innings and struck out five.

What started as a pitcher's duel turned into a rout as Emory broke a 2-2 tie in the fourth with a go-ahead single by Matthew Sicoli before adding 13 runs across the fifth, sixth and seventh frames. The decisive bloe came in during the seventh frame as the Eagles batted around and plated seven runs with the big blows in the innings coming from a two-run double by Schwartz that brought home Josh Katz and Zach Wasserlauf before Tyler McLoughlin added a ground-rule double to bring around Schwartz.

Emory and Wittenberg will conclude the short two-game series on Wednesday with a 1:00 PM scheduled first pitch at Chappell Park.
