Elizabethtown and Mother Nature Get the Better of Baseball

HARRISONBURG, Va. –  The EMU Baseball Team continued their early season homestand on Saturday, braving the cold temperatures to face off against the Elizabethtown Blue Jays out of the Landmark Conference. There were runs aplenty in game one, along with rain starting in the sixth inning. That rain picked up and turned into sleet and snow, cutting game one short at eight innings and forcing the cancelation of game two. The visiting Blue Jays came away with a 16-9 victory over the Royals.

Highlights
  • After a scoreless first inning, Elizabethtown lit up the scoreboard first for three runs in the second inning, followed by two runs in the top of the third to go up 5-0. The Royals got one back in the bottom of the third when Nick Arnold found an opportunity to steal home, making it 5-1 after three.
  • The Blue Jays' bats got hot in the fourth and fifth innings, scoring seven unanswered runs to widen their lead to 12-1. EMU tallied one run in the bottom of the fifth off of an Ethan Spraker double to left field, sending Arnold home.
  • Down 14-2 going to the bottom of the sixth, the Royals attempted to mount a comeback. Erik Wilkinson scored when Dylan Hall got on base the hard way, getting hit by a pitch. Logan Mason then singled to right field to bring in Matthew Harding. Spraker added two more RBIs to his stat line with a single to centerfield. One inning later, Alex Guilsano touched home plate after Mason drew a walk, bring the Royals to within 14-7.
  • Both teams managed to bring in two more runs in the eighth before the weather cut the game one inning short.
