to a 10-3 victory in the opening contest of the NCAA Division III
Regional in Martinsville, VA on Thursday afternoon. The Eagles
improve to 41-4, while the Spartans fall to 28-17.

- York had a quality scoring
opportunity in the first inning, with the bases loaded and no outs,
but Emory pitcher Will Carr struck out the next two batters, and
enticed a fly ball to left field to end the inning. The Eagles also
loaded the bases in the first, on hits by designated hitter Justin
Gordon, center fielder Josh Barrett, and third baseman Andrew
Pinckney, but took advantage with six runs thanks to a two-run
double to left from left fielder Bryan Langbord, a sacrifice fly by
catcher Adam Schorr, a single to shortstop by Paul Myslinski, and an
error on the York third baseman. After a walk to load the bases,
Gordon got his second hit of the inning, knocking in Rob Segear and
Myslinski to cap the scoring.
-
- The Eagles added a pair of runs in
the third, as Schorr doubled to left field and advanced to third on
a flyout by Myslinski. Segear singled to center to drive in Schorr,
advanced to second on a walk by Gettinger, and scored on a single to
right by Barrett. Emory moved the lead to 9-0 with a single run in
the fourth, as Pinckney doubled to left, advanced to third on a
single by Langbord, and scored on a sacrifice fly. York answered
with three runs in the fifth and sixth innings to pull to within
9-3, and each team added a run late to push the final score to 10-4.
-
- Justin Gordon, Andrew Pinckney, and
Bryan Langbord led Emory with three hits apiece, while Josh Barrett
added a pair of hits. York was led by Jeff Moore and Rajiv
Submaranian, who each had three hits, with Brian Bednarczyk, Jeff
Young, and Chad Hockenjos each collecting two hits, as the Spartans
outhit the Eagles, 17-16. Emory junior Will Carr allowed twelve hits
and two earned runs in six and two-thirds innings, striking out six
and walking none. York freshman Chris Brower absorbed the loss,
allowing 14 hits in five innings, with eight earned runs allowed and
two walks and four strikeouts.
