Eagles Rout Sewanee 18-6 at Chappell Park

Eagles Rout Sewanee 18-6 at Chappell Park

The Emory University baseball team scored 18 runs on 14 hits and 12 walks, and turned a triple play in the eighth inning, en route to an 18-6 win over the University of the South (Sewanee) Tigers at Chappell Park on Wednesday.

Andrew Cohn finished the day two-for-four with three runs scored, two RBIs a triple and two walks, and is now five hits shy of becoming the 10th player in school history to reach 200 career hits.

Cohn also started the rare triple play in the eighth inning.  With runners on first and second and nobody out and Alexander Castaneda on the mound, Chris Mauro grounded a ball down the third base line.  Cohn fielded the grounder, stepping on third base, before throwing to Mark Lindemann at second base, who relayed to Evan Plys at first to complete the historic triple play for Emory.

Sophomore Andrew DeYoung added a two-for-four performance with four RBIs, including his first career home run.  Jared Welch, Jonathan Reilly, Mark Lindemann, Evan Plys and Gabe Shivers each had two RBI days for Emory as well.

Freshman Ryan Toscano earned the victory with three and a third innings of work, allowing five hits and striking out two.  Keith Gordon, Connor McGuiness, Alexander Castaneda and Mike Bitanga each had scoreless relief efforts for the Eagles.

Emory improved to 25-12 with the win, while the University of the South dropped to 10-18 with the loss.  The Eagles will return to action on Friday, April 15th at Berry College.
