BETHLEHEM, Pa. --- The Moravian University baseball squad dropped an 18-6 decision to visiting Drew University in Landmark Conference action Tuesday afternoon at Gillespie Field.

How It Happened

  • The Rangers took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning on a solo home run
  • The Greyhounds answered in the bottom of the second with a pair of runs to take a 2-1 edge. Freshman third baseman Troy Rabosky led off with an infield single, and sophomore right fielder Matt Westcott drew a walk. After a double steal and an out, graduate student catcher Connor Wengryn ripped a two-RBI single up the middle to score Rabosky and Westcott
  • Drew retook the lead with a five-run third inning, and the Rangers added five runs in the fourth and four more runs in the fifth for a 15-2 advantage
  • The Blue & Grey scored four runs in the bottom of the fifth to pull within 15-6. Graduate student David Olsakowski led off the frame with a solo home run to left field, his first homer of the season and fourth of his career. Freshman shortstop David Vozzo drew a walk before graduate student Cole Cherkas launched a two-run homer over the scoreboard in right field. The home run was the fifth of the season for Cherkas and the 13th of career to move into a tie for fourth in program history. Sophomore first baseman Wyatt Harrar followed with a single, and he eventually raced home on an RBI single by freshman second baseman Nathan Jones
  • Drew scored three runs in the top of the seventh for the Landmark Conference run rule to end the game after seven instead of the scheduled nine innings 

Inside the Numbers

  • Moravian collected eight hits in the game with Jones going 2-for-3 with an RBI after entering due to an injury

  • Olsakowski went 1-for-3 with a run, an RBI and a homer while Vozzo and Harrar were each 1-for-3 with a run
  • Rabosky had a 1-for-4 game with a run while Westscott scored once
  • Graduate student Aaron Flyte made the start on the mound for the Blue & Grey and had two strikeouts in three innings of action. Freshman EJ Youngling added two strikeouts in an inning of work while sophomore Ben Cogar tossed a third of an inning.
