How It Happened
ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. – Elizabethtown College broke a 0-0 tie in the bottom of the 10th to edge out Lebanon Valley 1-0 on Wednesday afternoon in non-conference baseball action. The Dutchmen evened their record to 10-10, while the Blue Jays jumped to 12-8.

In the bottom of the 10th inning with the game knotted at 0-0, LVC got two quick outs, a ground out to Chris DeClerico and a flyout to Michael Puglisi. Relief pitcher Zach Yingst then ran into trouble when Mike Christy singled to right center, followed by a Nick Lorenz single to left, advancing Christy to second. The DH Nick Bein then hit a single to left to score Christy and give E-Town the win.

Starting pitcher Joshua Marcelli worked out of several jams, however the Blue Jays' Anthony Lippy also escaped trouble throughout the afternoon. In the bottom of the third, Marcelli allowed back-to-back singles with two outs, but was able to work his way out of trouble to keep things scoreless.
