MADISON, N.J. - Junior Jeff Serin tossed a seven-inning, complete-game five-hitter in the nightcap and the Rangers earned a split with Moravian College in Drew's Landmark Conference (LC) and home opener Saturday afternoon at Doc Young Field. The Rangers (4-5, 1-1 LC) dropped the opener 5-3 in 10 innings before capturing a 5-2 victory in the second game. Senior Mike Pettigrew went 4-for-7 at the plate for the day, and Drew first-year Head Coach John Fugett picked up his first conference victory.

Game 1 Highlights
• The Rangers never led in the opener but came back to tie it twice.
• Drew trailed 2-0 heading into the bottom of the sixth before plating their first run against starter Rhett Jacoby. Senior Zach Lipshitz led off with a single before scoring when junior Brent Lincoln was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.
• The Rangers pulled even (2-2) in the seventh, when Pettigrew singled leading off, was bunted to second by Mitch, and scored on a single from Liptshitz.
• Moravian pushed across another run in the eighth, but senior Jayson Mitch tied it when he launched a solo homer to right leading off the ninth.
• Drew nearly escaped a jam in the 10th, getting a pair of putouts at the plate after Moravian loaded the bases with none out. But Tim Heard roped a two-out, two-run single. The Rangers had the tying run on base in the bottom of the inning but reliever Tyler Caraway induced a game-ending pop-up.

Game 2 Highlights
• A Lipshitz sacrifice fly in the bottom of the third broke open a scoreless game and gave the Rangers their first lead of the afternoon.
• Trailing 2-1, the hosts opened up some breathing room and set the final score with a four-run fourth, when they sent 10 batters to the plate. Pettigrew belted an RBI-double in the inning, which was aided by two walks and two hit batsmen. 
• Drew starting pitcher Jeff Serin made the lead stand up, blanking the Greyhounds on one hit and one walk the rest of the way en route to his second-straight complete game.

Top Performers
• Pettigrew reached base four times in the opener, going 3-for-4 with a walk.
