ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. – No. 18/29 Shenandoah University ran its baseball winning streak to 12 games Wednesday afternoon with a 13-5 non-league win at Elizabethtown.
After Elizabethtown (7-13) scored four runs in the first, Shenandoah (22-6) responded with three runs in the second, two in the third and two more in the fourth to take a lead it would not relinquish.

Coach Kevin Anderson's club had 20 hits on the day with eight of the nine starters getting at least one each.
Luke Nussman and Tristan Baker each went 4-for-5 with Nussman driving in three runs.
Jamie Naill, who finished 3-for-5 with two RBI, and Henry Delavergne (2-for-6) both went deep.
The home runs were the first and second of the season, respectively, for the two men.
Robert Marcelle, Keegan Woolford and Nick Goode joined Delavergne in getting two hits each with Goode and Woolford both driving in two runs.
