ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. - Lebanon Valley brought out its bats and rode strong complete-game efforts by Derek Brousseau and Corey Cinicola to sweep its series from Elizabethtown with 10-1 and 10-2 wins on Friday.

The Dutchmen (15-13, 6-6 Commonwealth) pulled off their first sweep of the Blue Jays (15-11, 5-4 CC) since 2002, vaulting them back into the playoff hunt with a .500 record in league play. LVC combined for 29 runs in the three-game series, allowing just a single run to the Blue Jays.

With a pair of runs scored in the second game, Colt Zarilla became LVC's all-time leader in that category, with his total of 106 surpassing Scott Montgomery '05's 105.

Game One
In the opener, Aaron Mills and Phill Dohner homered and Jordan Witmer drove in four runs to lead an offensive explosion by the Dutchmen.

Witmer scored Ryan Schwartz in the first before Mills went long to left center for a two-run knock, spotting LVC a 3-0 lead before the hosts even got to bat.

Elizabethtown pulled a run back in the fourth with an infield single by Kevin Berkheiser, but LVC piled on insurance in the fifth. With the bases loaded, Witmer tripled to left, and he later scored on Mills' single through the right side to blow the game open at 7-1.

Dohner punctuated the win in the seventh with a two-run longball, his second of the year, and Jacob Rhody tacked on a sacrifice fly later in the inning.

Brousseau scattered seven hits to improve to 3-1 this season, holding Elizabethtown to the lone run in the fourth while striking out two. Etown starter Rob Cressman (4-2) lasted 4.2 innings, allowing seven runs before Kristopher Davis let up three in the final two and a third.

Game Two
In game two, LVC faced one of the Commonwealth Conference's hottest pitchers in Taras Letnaunchyn (5-0, 0.31 ERA), but seven runs by the Dutchmen in the first two innings chased the freshman after the second.

LVC manufactured a five-run first as singles by Schwartz and Witmer set up a Mills RBI base hit. Zarilla drove in a run later in the inning before Tim Filer's two-run double and Dohner's RBI single made it 5-0 in the top of the first.

Witmer added more harm in the second, homering to left to bring in Schwartz, and that would be all for Letnaunchyn as the Blue Jays went with Jake Hoffstein. That didn't slow down LVC's offense, with Schwartz driving in two runs in the third on a single and Andrew Wooley bringing Zarilla in on a fourth-inning single to help him set the career runs record.

Cinicola (1-4) had his best outing of the year to pick up his first win, allowing five hits and fanning four as the Blue Jays never managed to get a runner past second.

LVC returns home to host Penn State Harrisburg on Wednesday in a rare weekday doubleheader starting at 1 p.m.
