HUNTINGDON, Pa. – The Drew University baseball team pounded 16 hits but Juniata College captured its third straight one-run game, edging the Rangers 11-10 in a Landmark Conference series finale Saturday afternoon.
 
The Rangers' 16 hits marked their fourth-highest total of the season. For the series, Drew racked up 46 hits in three games, batting .380 for the weekend.
 
Juniors Anthony Hernandez and Nate Miller led the Rangers at the plate, combining to go 6-for-9 with six runs scored and three extra-base hits. Hernandez went 3-for-4 with three runs, three RBIs, and a double while Miller was 3-for-5 with three runs and a pair of doubles. Miller hit .600 (9-for-15) for the series and is batting .619 (13-for-21) with seven RBIs and six extra-base hits over his last four games.
 
Senior Billy Coleman and junior Anthony Diaz each finished with a pair of hits for the Drew. On the mound, senior Giovanni DeGiglio started and worked 5 2/3 innings before junior TJ Shuman tossed 2/3 of an inning. Sophomore Kenny Yonker pitched the final 1 2/3.
 
Dakotah Snyder went 3-for-4 to lead the Eagles.
 
It was a pitcher's duel early on between DeGiglio and Juniata's Chase Allessandroni. Each allowed just four hits over the first five innings, when the Rangers led 2-1.

The two sides found their offense in the last four innings, when they combined to score 18 runs.

 Drew extended its lead to 4-1 in the sixth, when Hernandez roped an RBI-double. But Juniata answered with six in the bottom of the inning, when it slugged two home runs to grab its first lead of the day at 7-4.
 
The Rangers were quick to strike back, however, putting up a five-spot in the seventh to reclaim the lead at 9-7. Sophomore Raiden Yost ripped a two-run single to make it a one-run game before Miller followed up with his second double of the game. Hernandez then singled up the middle to score a pair, giving the Blue and Green their two-run lead.
 
Juniata responded in the bottom of the inning with four runs on four hits and a pair of walks runs to go in front 11-9.
 
As they did throughout the weekend, the Rangers rallied once again and nearly pulled even in the ninth. Hernandez reached on an error before Coleman singled him home to make it a one-run game. Freshman Kyle Johnson then reached on an infield single to put runners on first and second with two outs before classmate Thomas Zammitti stepped to the plate and singled, but the potential tying run was thrown out at the plate to end the game.
 
The Rangers continue their season on Wednesday, when they host The City College of New York in a non-conference matchup at 3:30 p.m.
