WESTMINSTER, Md. -- The top-ranked Johns Hopkins baseball team continued its winning ways Friday afternoon as the Blue Jays erased an early 1-0 deficit and cruised to a 9-2 victory over host McDaniel. The win improves JHU's record to 26-0, 11-0 in the Centennial Conference, while McDaniel falls to 14-6, 8-4.

After spotting the Green Terror a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first, the Blue Jays scored twice in the third inning and six times in the fourth to put the game away. McDaniel's Kevin Salamone walked in a run in the bottom of the first and the Terror collected three hits in the inning, but Hopkins starter Sven Stafford worked his way out of the jam and was never in trouble again.

The Blue Jays took the lead for good in the third as senior catcher Bryan Eberle singled home Paul Long, who had doubled, and later scored on an RBI-single by senior Rob Morrison. The Blue Jays left the bases loaded in the third, but a six-run fourth pushed the lead to 8-1.

Junior Paul Winterling hit a two-run home run, Morrison added another run-scoring single and senior Tim Casale ripped an RBI-double to fuel the rally, which included five hits and one McDaniel error.

Eberle paced a 15-hit attack as he tied his career high with four hits and scored twice with one RBI. Casale and Morrison both collected three hits and scored a run with Morrison knocking in a pair. Senior Brian Morley reached base safely in each of his three plate appearances as he was 2-for-2 with a run scored and walk.

Stafford, who was making his first start of the season and just the fifth of his career, scattered seven hits and allowed both runs to pick up his first win of the season. Hopkins' primary closer, he struck out seven and walked two before giving way to senior Adam Josephart, who pitched a scoreless inning to close the book on the victory.

McDaniel;s Chris Seibert had three of the Green Terror's seven hits in the game and scored both of their runs. Tyler Stewart tok the loss as he allowed six hits and two runs in three innings of work.

Johns Hopkins will host Haverford in a Centennial Conference doubleheader on Saturday. Game one will begin at 1:00 pm.
