MADISON, N.J. – Senior Kenny Yonker tossed seven innings of one-run ball while classmate Anthony Diaz Jr. broke the school record for runs in a season, leading the Drew University baseball team to a 6-5 non-conference victory over Marywood University Tuesday afternoon at Doc Young Field at Lonnstrom Stadium.
 
Yonker (2-3) scattered seven hits and carried a shutout into the seventh inning. He walked just two and struck out three while tying the longest outing of his career.
 
Senior Alex Barbarisi entered the game with one out and a one-run lead. After a walk, he retired the next two batters on a lineout and groundout for his first career save.
 
Senior Raiden Yost went 2-for-3 with two runs scored for the Rangers (18-18) while classmate Mike Gallaro finished 2-for-3 as well in Drew's first meeting with Marywood since 1998.
 
Diaz entered the game tied with two others for the school's runs record and took sole possession of the mark in dramatic fashion. After drawing a leadoff walk in the seventh, he moved to third on a single from Yost. Senior Will Fritch then popped up to the catcher in foul territory on the first-base side, but when home plate was left uncovered Diaz sprinted home and slid in just ahead of the tag of the diving catcher.
 
Marywood starter Noah Trager did not allow a hit until freshman Zach Maxwell drilled a fourth-inning single to put runners on the corners in a scoreless game. Gallaro followed up with an RBI-single up the middle to put the Rangers on the scoreboard.
 
The score remained 1-0 going into the sixth inning before Drew opened up some breathing room with a four-spot. Maxwell pushed across a run with a sacrifice fly before fifth-year Anthony Hernandez drilled a two-run double. Freshman Anthony Vallaro capped the inning with an RBI-double of his own to make it 5-0.
 
The Pacers (14-20) finally broke through in the seventh with a single run on two hits. But Yonker escaped further damage, first by picking a man off third with runners on the corners for the second out of the inning. Then, ater a hit batsman put runners on first and second, Yonker induced an inning-ending groundout.
 
Diaz' run gave Drew a comfortable 6-1 lead but it proved to be the difference, as Marywood scored four late runs on a pair of two-run homers in the eighth and ninth.
 
The Rangers continue their five-home homestand to end the regular season when they host the City College of New York on Wednesday in another non-conference affair starting at 3:30 p.m.
