Elizabethtown Downs Hopkins, 12-7, in Error-Filled Contest
March 19, 2003
BALTIMORE, MD - Jon Kalejta was 4-for-6 with three RBIs and Seth Guida added three hits and three RBIs to lead Elizabethtown to a 12-7 win over Johns Hopkins in non-conference baseball action this afternoon in Baltimore.
Elizabethtown, which improved to 6-2 with its sixth straight win, led 9-6 after four innings and stretched the margin to 12-6 after seven innings. Hopkins committed seven errors in the contest and fell to 9-2 with its second loss in the last three games.
JHU opened the scoring with two runs in the bottom of the first inning. Sophomore Eric Nigro (Randolph, NJ/Taft Prep) singled, advanced to second on a groundout and scored on a single to left by sophomore Paul Winterling (Glenelg, MD/McDonogh School). Winterling later scored on an error by the second baseman.
Elizabethtown answered with four runs in the top of the second on three hits and two errors, but Hopkins regained the lead in the bottom of the third on back-to-back home runs by Winterling and junior Brian Morley (Tappan, NY/Don Bosco Prep). Morley belted a two-run shot, his first of the year, over the fence in left after Nigro had reached on an error. Winterling followed with his fourth home run of the season to left field to give Hopkins a 5-4 advantage.
EC rallied in the top of the next inning with five runs on four hits and two walks. Guida drove in three runs with a double to right center, while Kalejta and Mark Dixon both drove in a run with a single.
Junior Doug Hitchner (Haverford, PA/Episcopal Academy) cut the deficit to 9-6 with his first home run of the season in the bottom of the fourth with the bases empty. Elizabethtown responded with a single run in the top of the sixth and two runs in the top of the seventh with the help of three errors to take a comfortable 12-6 lead.
Junior Craig Cetta (Randolph, NJ/Randolph) provided the final run for Hopkins with his second home run in as many days, a solo shot to left field. The Blue Jays belted four home runs to increase their season total to 21 in 11 games.
Jon Chwirut earned his first win of the season as he pitched three effective innings in relief of starter Adam Rebert. Chwirut allowed one run on two hits and struck out two. Jon Weitz picked up his first save of the year as he gave up one run on five hits in three innings of relief.
Senior Jeremy Brown (Baltimore, MD/McDonogh School) suffered his first loss of the season for Hopkins as he allowed nine runs on nine hits in four innings. Junior Russ Berger (Owings Mills, MD/Owings Mills) and freshman Andrew Bail (Chicago, IL/Latin School) each pitched a scoreless inning of relief.
Freshman Jim Flannery (Rocky River, OH/St. Edward) gave up just two unearned runs in two innings. Sophomore Dave Montegari (West Hempstead, NY/Chaminade) saw his first action of the season on the mound and gave up one run and one hit in one inning.
Hopkins is next in action Friday as the Blue Jays host Johnson & Wales at 2:00 p.m.
