The Philadelphia University baseball team tallied seven runs from the seventh inning on, downing host Chestnut Hill College 9-3 in a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) game played Tuesday night at Hostelley Field in North Wales, Pa.

Five players had two-hit performances for the Rams, who improve to 13-18 overall and 11-6 in CACC games.  Freshman right-hander Jared Farbman remained unbeaten, raising his record to 5-0, while sophomore closer Rob Fisher worked the final two innings to earn his third save of 2008.

A sacrifice fly off the bat of sophomore designated hitter Mike Anderson gave Philadelphia University a one-run lead in the second inning. The Griffins tied the affair, 1-1, in the bottom of the fifth inning.  The Rams then reclaimed the lead in the top of the sixth, as a lead-off triple by junior center fielder Devin Conroy resulted in a run scored on an RBI ground out from sophomore second baseman Tyler Mentzer.

In the seventh inning, Anderson led off by reaching on an error by the Griffins' first baseman. A walk put two runners on and a subsequent wild pitch moved them both into scoring position.  The next two Rams were retired before a walk to Conroy loaded the bases for Tyler Mentzer.  Mentzer came through by socking a three-run double to left center, putting Philadelphia University on top 5-1.  The hosts plated a run in both the seventh and eighth innings, but the Rams notched four runs in their final two at-bats to break open a tight contest.

Farbman allowed just three runs while scattering six hits and striking out five Griffins in the victory. Fisher picked up the save, holding the Griffins scoreless over the final two innings. The heart of the Rams' order (three through seven) combined to go 10-for-22 (.455) with eight RBI; each batter recording two hits.

The baseball team next hosts Wilmington University for a key CACC doubleheader on Thursday, April 24 at 2:30 p.m. on Alumni Field.
