LANGHORNE, Pa. – The Cairn University baseball team scored 24 runs, the second-most runs scored in a game in program history (26, at Polytechnic University on April 7, 2011), in their 24-8 rout of non-conference adversary Penn College of Technology on Wednesday afternoon.
 
Penn College (10-9, 5-1 United East) plated the first run of the game in the top of the first inning, before Cairn (6-11, 1-2 CSAC) responded with a four-spot in the bottom half, highlighted by back-to-back doubles by freshman Zach Bauers (Cooper City, FL / Cooper City) and senior Sam Spadea (Yardley, PA / Pennsbury). The Highlanders maintained a six-run lead (10-4) heading into the fourth inning, before exploding for eight runs in the bottom of the fourth. The Highlanders batted around in the inning, spearheaded by sophomore Tyler Warr's (Langhorne, PA / Neshaminy) two triples in the frame. Warr is now just the seventh player in NCAA Division III history to record two triples in the same inning, and the first to do so since 2010. Cairn cruised to victory off the back of its efficient offense.
 
Spadea led the Highlander bats with a four-for-four day at the plate, including a career-high six RBIs. Bauers followed by going three-for-three, scoring four runs and driving in another three. Warr posted a three-for-four showing at the plate with four RBIs, three of which came on a bases-clearing triple in the fourth inning. Senior Tyler Fox (Boyertown, PA / West-Mont Christian Academy) added three base knocks and scored a career-high five runs. Sophomore Ronaldhino Alcin (Miami, FL / North Miami Beach) moved to 2-0 on the season after hurling five innings, scattering nine hits, four runs (three earned) and striking out a pair. Graduate Students Ben Spadea (Yardley, PA / Pennsbury) and Jarrett Johnson (Edison, NJ / Timothy Christian) each added a scoreless inning in relief, while sophomore Brady Hill (Easton, PA / Notre Dame Green Pond) closed out the game for Cairn, giving up no hits and no earned runs in the ninth.
 
The Highlanders will be back on the diamond tomorrow when they welcome Rutgers Newark to Langhorne for a non-conference bout inside the Stillman Complex at 3:30 p.m.
