CENTER VALLEY, Pa. --- The Moravian University baseball squad battled back to earn a non-conference victory over DeSales University, 6-5, in 11 innings on Wednesday evening, including graduate student first baseman Brett Moyer garnering his 100th career hit as a member of the Greyhounds.

How It Happened

• After a couple of walks to lead off the contest, junior designated hitter Derek Holmes drove in the first run of the game with an RBI single to center field. Moyer followed with a single to right field for an RBI for his 100th career hit in a Moravian uniform to give the Hounds a 2-0 lead
• DeSales countered with a three-run bottom of the first to take a 3-2 advantage
• The Blue and Grey tied the ball game in their half of the fourth when sophomore outfielder Matt Madigan singled to third base to score senior third baseman David Bertolotti to knot the game at 3-3
• The Bulldogs took the lead back in the bottom of the fourth frame with a pair of runs to have a 5-3 edge after four innings
• Moravian got one run across in the seventh off of a pinch-hit RBI double from sophomore Cole Cherkas that plated Moyer to put the Hounds within a run at 5-4
• In the eighth frame, the Greyhounds would tie the game on a sacrifice fly to center field from Moyer that brought freshman Nick Henry racing home to tie things up at 5-5
• Moravian scored the go-ahead run in the top of the 11th inning after junior second baseman Chris Pow led off the frame with a single into left field and advanced to second base on a failed pick-off attempt. Freshman third baseman Ayden Dunbar doubled down the left-field line to plate Pow, which would end up being the game-winning run
