CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind. – Kenyon College pitchers Zach Elsawy and Ross Scheinberg took over the second game of Saturday's doubleheader and lifted the Lords baseball team to a 6-1 decision against Wabash College. The win salvaged a split with the host Little Giants, who claimed a 13-3 win in the first game of the day.

Elsawy started game two and went six innings. He yielded just the one run on five hits and two walks. He struck out three and improved his pitching record to 3-0. The earned run was just the second of the season that Elsawy allowed through four appearances. His ERA now sits at 0.75 in 24 innings pitched.

When Elsawy exited the game, there was no drop off. Scheinberg closed out the last three innings, giving up just two hits and striking out four. In doing so, he lowered his season ERA to 2.91 through eight appearances.

What little run support that duo needed, it got from the bottom half of the Kenyon batting order. The No. 9 hitter, Will Sturgeon, went 2-for-4 with two RBI. No. 5 hitter Alex Gow was also 2-for-4, while No. 7 hitter Brent Henderson was 2-for-3 with two runs scored and two more RBI.

Sturgeon got the Kenyon scoring started in the top of the second inning with a single that plated Andrew Rabinowitz. Later in the inning, Jimmy Clark drew a base-loaded walk to give Kenyon a 2-0 lead.

A sacrifice fly from Henderson in the top of the third made the score 3-1.

In the bottom of the fifth, Kenyon used three singles, a passed ball, an error and a walk to score three times. Both Gow and Henderson had RBI singles in the frame.

In game one, the Little Giants piled up 15 hits against Kenyon pitchers and benefitted from seven walks. Gow got the start for the Lords, but was chased after four innings that included six runs on nine hits and three walks.

Kenyon relievers Joel Biery and Zach Frizzera didn't have much success, either. Biery gave up five runs in less than an inning of work and Frizzera gave up two more runs before the Little Giants used the NCAC's 10-run rule to end the game in the bottom of the seventh inning.

Wabash starting pitcher Kase Lawson didn't share the same struggles. He went the distance, holding the Lords to three runs on seven hits and two walks.

Kenyon did get to Lawson in the fifth and sixth innings. In the fifth, Henderson led off with a double and then scored on a single from Trenton DiFilippo. Three batters later, Ryan Page singled home DiFilippo.

In the sixth, Patrick O'Leary belted his conference-leading sixth home run, a solo shot to left field.

Kenyon is now 15-8 overall and 2-2 within NCAC play. Wabash is 11-11 and 1-4 in the conference.
