AUBURNDALE, Fla. – The Drew University baseball team stole nine bases and defeated Saint Vincent University 12-5 in the third game of the team's spring break trip to Florida Tuesday morning.
 
The Rangers (3-3) scored six runs in the bottom of the third to open up an 8-3 lead and plated the final four runs of the game to win going away.
 
Senior Billy Coleman went 2-for-4 with a double and four RBIs for Drew, which also took advantage of eight walks. Senior Anthony Hernandez was 2-for-5 with two doubles, two runs, and two RBIs while sophomore Kyle Johnson finished 2-for-4 with a pair of runs. Freshman Tanner Blendinger contributed with three RBIs while senior Nate Miller slugged a home run.
 
Seven different Rangers stole a base, with senior Anthony Diaz Jr. and freshman Aiden Mitchell swiping two apiece.
 
Drew sent four pitchers to the mound, with freshman reliever Aidan Bauer tossing four innings of shutout ball to earn his first career win.
 
The Rangers jumped to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first when Coleman drilled a two-run single. The Bearcats (0-2) scored the next three runs to briefly take the lead in the top of the third before Drew erupted for its big inning.
 
Junior Raiden Yost walked leading off the bottom of the third before scoring on a double from Hernandez. Coleman chased home two more runs with a two-bagger of his own two batters later to put the Rangers up 5-3 while knocking the starting pitcher out of the game. Later in the inning, Johnson roped an RBI-double before junior Dallas Lorenzetti brought home another run with a sacrifice fly. The final run of the inning scored on an error as the Rangers went up by five.
 
Saint Vincent scored twice in the top of the fourth to make it 8-5, but Drew answered in the bottom half when Blendinger ripped a two-run single to push the Rangers' lead back to five.
 
Bauer (1-1) took the hill in the fifth and was nearly perfect, yielding just a single and two walks. He faced only 14 batters, as Coleman threw out a runner attempting to steal second to end the fifth.
 
Miller went deep in the fifth, smashing a no-doubter over the left-center wall for his second homer in as many games, pushing his team's lead to 11-5. Drew plated its final run in the seventh after Diaz stole second and third before scoring on a groundout.
 
Senior TJ Shuman came on to fire a scoreless ninth for the Rangers.
 
Drew continues its southern swing on Thursday, when it takes on Martin Luther University in a doubleheader starting at 3 p.m.
