Annville, PA (March 30, 2011) – Five different pitchers combined to allow just one run on seven hits and senior Doc Neiman had three hits, two doubles, and three RBIs leading the DeSales University baseball team past Lebanon Valley College, 5-1, in a non-conference game on Wednesday afternoon.

The Bulldogs (8-7 overall) scored twice in the third and fourth innings with Neiman knocking in both runs with a key two-out double in the third and freshman Kyle Kromberg and junior Nick Chiovitti each had RBI singles in the fourth, staking DSU to a 4-1 lead. DeSales added one more run in the sixth on a bases loaded walk by Neiman and the mound men did the rest.

Senior Jeffrey Pinto started and earned the win with three solid innings, scattering three hits and allowing just the one run. Junior Jack Kavetski allowed just one hit and struck out two in two innings, sophomore Dan Gayeski tossed two scoreless, scattering three hits, and sophomore David Drinks and junior Travis Hughes finished the win off with two hitless innings in the eighth and ninth frames.
