The Emory University baseball team vented its recent
frustrations on the University of the South squad on Wednesday, as
the Eagles defeated the Tigers 22-6 in Sewanee, TN.
Among the highlights from the contest were the team-leading fourth
home run of the season for Patrick Riebsame, the
third home run of the season for both Dan Molnar
and Andrew Cohn, and the first collegiate home run
for Jay Page.
The Eagles jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning off a
two-out, three-run home run for Molnar, scoring Riebsame and
Jonathan Reilly. Emory would build the lead
to 5-0 in the second inning with a two-out single for
Reilly.
Sewanee scored four runs in the bottom of the third to make it a
one-run game, but the Eagles would score four more in the top of
the fourth to take a 9-4 lead. Emory added two in the sixth,
and then broke the game open with nine in the eighth and two in the
ninth.
Reilly finished the day four-for-five with six RBIs, while Cohn
went three-for-three with three RBIs.
Emory's Adam Genn got the start and earned
the victory, improving to 2-1 on the year. Chris
Monaco and Zeb Heidt each pitched in
relief for Emory as well.
Emory improved to 11-10 on the season with the win, while Sewanee
dropped to 6-13.
The Eagles will return to action on Friday, hosting a doubleheader
against Edgewood College at Chappell Park, starting at 1:00 PM
