La Plume, PA (3-19-10) - Keystone College opened its 2010 conference schedule with a 20-1 rout of Marywood University in CSAC baseball action.
The Giants pounded out 20 hits, including five home runs, as they built a 13-0 lead after two innings. With the win the Giants moved to 6-2 overall and 1-0 in the CSAC, while Marywood falls to 2-8 and 0-1.
Keystone sent 12 men to the plate in a 37 minute bottom half of the first as Edwin Padua and Eric Groff connected on back-to-back home runs as part of the eight-run inning. The Giants ended any doubt of what the final outcome would be as they added five more runs as part of six hit second inning.
Fourteen different players recorded hits for the Giants, as Padua led the way with three hits. In addition to his home run, Padua added a double and single.
Yazy Arbello, Donald Reese and Drew Rossi all added home runs, with Rossi, Ray Jackson and Angel Fargas recording doubles. Esteban Meletiche, Rossi and Reese were all two time hitters for the Giants.
As impressive as the offense was for Keystone, the Giants also turned in a masterful mound performance.
Sean Brewer picked up the win by going five innings and allowing Marywood's lone run. Brewer struck out 10 and did not walk a batter. Brandon Kramer and Luis Rivera tossed a combined three scoreless innings with Victor Lara striking out the side in the ninth.
The Giants and Pacers return to action tomorrow at Marywood for a doubleheader beginning at noon.
