BETHLEHEM, Pa. --- The Moravian College baseball squad swept visiting Elizabethtown College, 5-2 and 6-5, in a Landmark Conference doubleheader at Gillespie Field Saturday afternoon as the Greyhounds extended their winning streak to seven games.

How It Happened – Game #1

• The Greyhounds took 2-0 lead in the bottom of the third inning on an RBI single by sophomore second baseman Chris Pow and an RBI fielder's choice from sophomore designated hitter Derek Holmes that scored graduate student right fielder Carmine Palummo, who became the 16th player in program history to reach 150 career hits just before Pow's RBI single
• The Blue Jays would knot the score at 2-2 in the top of the fifth with a two-run homer on Elizabethtown's first hit of the afternoon
• Moravian moved back in front, 4-2, with a two-run bottom of the fifth. Senior first baseman Brett Moyer drove in both runs with a two-RBI single up the middle
• The Greyhounds added a run in the bottom of the sixth for a 5-2 edge when junior catcher Nick Montone tripled down the right field line and scored on an RBI single from Palummo
• Junior pitcher Eddie Olsen improved to 4-1 on the mound with the complete game win, and he struck out seven batters

How It Happened – Game #2

• The Blue Jays jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning in the second contest
• Moravian answered with a run in the bottom of the first on an RBI single from Moyer to cut the Elizabethtown lead to 3-1
• The Blue Jays would push the edge back to three with a run in the top of the third for a 4-1 advantage
