EMORY BASEBALL WINS FOURTH-STRAIGHT WITH 5-2 VICTORY OVER GREENSBORO
Box Score
(Feb. 24) The fifth-ranked Emory Baseball team received another strong pitching performance from a freshman, as starter Matt Ryckman allowed just one run over 5.2 innings to guide the Eagles (4-1) to a 5-2 victory over the Greensboro College (N.C.) Pride (9-4).
Ryckman allowed just four hits and two walks, striking out one batter during his first collegiate start. The freshman, who previously appeared in one game out of the bullpen for Emory, lowered his season earned run average to 0.90, while improving his record to 1-0 this season.
In a reversal of Emory’s opening game, a 5-1 loss to Millsaps College (Miss.), Adam Genn relieved Ryckman, throwing the final 3.1 innings to earn his first save of the season. The sophomore allowed one run on one hit in his fourth outing of the campaign, lowering his ERA to 4.00.
Preseason All-American Joe Roth paced Emory at the plate, going three-for-three with a double, an RBI, a run scored, two walks, and two stolen bases during the game. The senior upped his season batting average to a team-leading .467, and is now tied for the team lead with four RBIs this season.
Emory got on the board in the bottom of the third inning, as Roth scored after singling, stealing second, and advancing home on a wild pitch. The Eagles added two more runs in the frame with a bases-loaded single for freshman catcher Jeremy Bolian, on a 0-2 pitch with two outs in the inning.
Greensboro starting pitcher Jordan Dorsett pitched four innings in the loss, dropping to 3-1 on the campaign.
The victory gives the Eagles four-consecutive wins, as Emory improved to 4-1 on the campaign. The Eagles also finished the Rawlings Southern Classic with a perfect 2-0 record. Emory will end a six-game home stand on Tuesday, as the Eagles will play host to Adrian College (Mich.) at 2:00 PM.

Coor improved to 2-0 this season, spreading seven hits and two walks over his seven innings pitched, and striking out five batters. The freshman lowered his season earned run average to 0.64 during the outing, while showing tremendous poise on the mound, working out of situations with runners in scoring position and less than two outs in four separate innings.
