@ERAUBaseball Runs Win Streak to Six with 5-4 Victory Over Barry in Series Opener

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Cody Crouse delivered his second straight strong start and Dominic Jeancola was perfect over the final two innings as the Embry-Riddle baseball team used five runs in the first two frames and dominant pitching to down Barry, 5-4 on Friday night. The Eagles (16-25, 6-16 SSC) have now won six straight while snapping Barry's (19-23, 6-16 SSC) three-game winning streak.

A first-inning error on the Eagles allowed an unearned run to score to open the game as the visitors jumped out to a 1-0 lead. However, the Eagles got a massive lift in the bottom of the inning as Zach Howard launched his 18th home run of the year out of Sliwa Stadium with Jake Malone and Luis Olivier on base, putting the Eagles in front, 3-1.

ERAU added a pair of unearned runs in the second when Justin Franklin reached on an error before scoring on Cody Bogart's double to right, and then Bogart came in to score on Kyle Marsh's single to right center for a 5-1 Embry-Riddle advantage.

Crouse left a pair on base in the third, but the Bucs put together a two-out rally in the fourth, stringing together four straight singles after Crouse retired the first two Bucs, cutting a 5-1 deficit to 5-4 before Crouse ended the inning with a strikeout.

From the fifth inning on the pitching staffs for both teams were dominant, with both starters working out of jams in the sixth and seventh before Jeancola took over for Crouse to start the eighth, facing the minimum six batters in his two frames of work, striking out four, including the last Bucs in the ninth to collect his third save of the year.

Crouse (4-3) got the win in seven innings, scattering nine hits while allowing four runs (three earned) with five Ks. Marsh, Olivier and Bogart all finished 2-for-4 from the plate with Howard's big blow homer in the first accounting for all three of his RBIs. Kyle Guttveg saw his 21-game hitting streak come to an end after going 0-for-4. The sophomore's streak is tied for the third-longest hitting streak in program history.

ERAU and Barry finish up the three-game series tomorrow with a twin bill at 1 p.m.
