RICHMOND, Indiana – A six-run third inning by Anderson University helped propel the host Ravens to a 14-4 win over Earlham College baseball, in a seven-inning contest on Wednesday afternoon at Doc Brandon Field.

Anderson led 6-3 after two innings, with Earlham remaining within striking distance of the Ravens thanks to Austin Hatfield's RBI double in the first inning and a two-run home run to left field off the bat of Nathan Lancianese in the second.

The Ravens took command of the game in the third with six runs on two hits, two walks, a hit-by-pitch, and a Quaker error, with Jason Hall-Manley's two-out grand slam home run keying the frame.

Earlham got one run back in the fifth when Maxwell Fries drew a bases loaded walk to force Marc Gendreau across the plate. Anderson answered with two in the bottom of the sixth, with both runs scoring on TJ Price's sacrifice fly to right field. With the Ravens holding a 10-run lead after Earlham batted in the top of the seventh, the game was halted.

Quaker starter Dillon Fischer was charged with the loss in a two-inning outing, with Ethan Khandaker, Phoenix Guzzi, and Joey Gerbus all getting relief innings on Wednesday. Lancianese led the Quakers at the plate with his 2-for-3 performance with a run and two RBI, with four other players each recording one hit.

Hall-Manly led Anderson with his 3-for-4 effort at the plate with three runs and five runs batted in.
