ELIZABETHOWN, Pa. --- Elizabethtown won its first Middle Atlantic Conference Commonwealth game with a 4-3 win in the second game of a doubleheader with Lebanon Valley Saturday. The Blue Jays lost the first game 5-4. Etown's record now stands at 11-8 overall and 1-5 in the MAC Commonwealth.
In the first game, Lebanon Valley (6-11, 2-4) out-hit Etown 11-7 and committed only one error to Elizabethtown's five. Starter Jamie Newton (Vineland, NJ/Vineland) gave up four earned runs and ten hits to get the loss. Tim Downing (St. James, NY/Smithtown) went three for four at the plate for the Blue Jays.

Etown tied the game in the bottom of the seventh with an RBI single from Romig, and won the game later that inning on a sacrifice fly from Jared Ness (McPherson, KS/McPherson) that drove home Downing.
