La PLUME, Pa.—Junior Chris Panzarella (Hazle Township, Pa./Hazleton Area), sophomore Adam Kelly (Beach Lake, Pa./Honesdale), and senior Eric Drzewiecki (Hellertown, Pa./Phillipsburg) combined for 10 hits and 13 RBIs to lead Keystone College to a 21-3 victory over Clarks Summit University in the first of a two-game Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) series Wednesday afternoon at Christy Mathewson Field.
 
Panzarella finished with four hits, including two doubles, and four RBIs, Kelly had three hits, including a home run, and five RBIs, and Drzewiecki contributed three hits, including a home run, and drove in four runs as the Giants won their fourth straight game to improve to 19-7 overall and 7-0 in the CSAC.  Overall, Keystone belted out a season-high 23 hits.
 
Sophomores Kegan Laman and Andreas Bailey each had a hit and drove in a run for the Defenders, now 0-18 overall and 0-5 in conference play. 
 
Junior Mohammed Hussein (Queens, NY/William C. Bryant), the Giants' leading hitter with a .443 batting average, used his arm instead of his bat today to play a key role in Keystone's win.  He made his third pitching appearance, second start, and limited Clarks Summit to one hit and no earned runs in five innings to improve to 2-0 on the season.  He threw 63 pitches, 42 for strikes, on his way to a five-strikeout performance.
 
Four relievers—seniors Emilio Gonzalez-DeOlio and Joe DeAngelis (Auburn, N.Y./Auburn), Drezwiecki, and senior Bray Curreri (Eldred, N.Y./Eldred Central)—combined to hold the Defenders to just three hits the rest of the way.
 
Keystone, which will host the Defenders again tomorrow at 3:00 p.m., also received two hits apiece from sophomore Alejandro Monteverde (Catasauqua, Pa./Catasauqua), Curreri, junior Ronald Medina (Bronx, NY/Dewitt Clinton) and sophomore Nick Carlini (Clarks Summit, Pa./Abington Heights).
 
The Giants took a 3-0 lead in the first inning on Kelly's 3-run shot to left center field and Drzewiecki followed two innings later with a two-run blast.  Keystone broke it open an inning later when Panzarella hit a two-run double to the gap in right center field as the Giants jumped out to a 9-0 lead.
