ELON COLLEGE, N.C. - Jason Mohap went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a RBI and Craig Munroe drove home a pair of runs, leading Maryland (1-4) to a 6-5 win over Elon (4-3) in baseball action today at Newsome Field. The game, which was only seven innings, was the nightcap of a doubleheader. In the earlier game, Elon held off a Terp rally to win 6-4.
Starting pitcher Mark Martin (1-0) picked up his first career win. He went four innings before turning the mound over to Mike Dallmeyer, who pitched two innings and Brad Lyons, who pitched the final inning.
Maryland jumped to a 4-0 lead in the third inning. Munroe provided the big blow with a two-run double. He was then doubled home by Mohap.
Martin held Elon scoreless through three innings, but the Fighting Christians rallied in the bottom of the fourth inning with three runs. Jason Tuttle's two-out, two-run single was the key hit.
Brian Barton pushed the Terps' lead to 5-3 with a RBI single in the top of the fifth inning. Daryl Whitmer extended the lead to 6-3 when he singled home Jason Mohap in the top of the seventh inning.
Elon closed the gap to 6-5 in the bottom of the seventh inning, but Maryland closer Brad Lyons was able to retire the final two batters of the game for his first career save.
In the first game, designated hitter Shaun Kopcynski drilled a two-run double in the bottom of the seventh inning, propelling Elon (4-2) to a 6-4 win over Maryland (0-4) in baseball action on Saturday at Newsome Field. The game was the first game of a doubleheader.
Elon got four runs in the opening two innings to take a 4-0 lead. In the first inning, Jim Swenson had a RBI single and Garth Lanning had a sacrifice fly to score another run. Brian Ingram knocked in both runs in the second inning on a two-run single.

The Terps got two runs back in the top of the fourth inning when Kevin McDonald and Sean Lomas drew consecutive walks with the bases loaded. In the fifth inning, Munroe singled home Steve Oursler to narrow the gap to 4-3.
Maryland fought back in the top of the ninth inning, closing the gap to 6-4 as Chuck Easter's single scored Matt Swope. Elon, however, was able to shut out the Terps the rest of the way.
