After the Eagles scored in the top of the second, Kowalski extended the Drew lead on a two-RBI double down the left field line. The sophomore was 2-for-4 with four RBIs and three runs scored. He also swiped his ninth stolen base of the season.

Senior Justin Mancini (Haskell, N.J./Lakeland Regional) reached base for the 11^th-straight game in the bottom of the third with a single to left field that scored two runs, giving the Rangers a 5-2 advantage. The Ranger first baseman was 1-for-1 with two RBIs and a run scored. He was also hit by a pitch twice in the contest and leads the Landmark conference with 11 on the season.

The Rangers were able to blow the game open in the bottom of the fifth inning by plating six runners and knocking out Juniata starting pitcher, Mario DeYulis. The Rangers scored all six runs on just two hits. Kowalski and Bodden each singled home a pair of runs in the frame.

Drew starting pitcher Ken Myers (Straford, N.J./Sterling) fought through five innings, striking out two and allowing only three runs.

The Rangers will be back on the diamond on Tuesday when they travel to Richard Stockton for a non-conference tilt with the Ospreys. First pitch is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. in Galloway, N.J.
