MONARCH BASEBALL SQUAD DROPS 8-0 DECISION TO LEB-VAL
 
WILKES-BARRE --  Visiting Lebanon Valley College built a 6-0 lead after four innings and took advantage of four King's College errors as the Flying Dutchmen walked away with an 8-0 triumph to spoil the Monarchs 2011 home debut Tuesday at Lipo Field in the Betzler Athletic Complex.

With the loss, King's slipped to 3-8 while Lebanon Valley improved to 6-3.
 
The Dutchmen scored twice in the game's first at-bats when Colt Zarilla singled and moved to second on a balk. Jake Rhody then delivered a two-out RBI single and promptly stole second base. Dustin Deibert then followed with a run-scoring single.

Lebanon Valley added four runs in the fourth, thanks in large part to two King's errors. Ryan Schwartz had the big hit in the inning, a two-run double as the Dutchmen built a 6-0 lead.  Lebanon Valley added an unearned run in the fifth inning, then a solo home run from Rhody in the top-of-the-ninth.

King's, meanwhile, struggled to advance runners and was unable to score despite registering 11 base hits. The Monarchs stranded eight runners in the game. Rob Lemoncelli led King's with a 3-for-4 showing while Chris Sweeney was 2-for-3 and Mike Fignar went 2-for-4. Anthony Re, Jared Turner, Brenton Eades, and Matt Pritchard all added one hot for the Monarchs. Joe Dorbad took the pitching loss, allowing six runs, four earned in three and two-thirds innings. 

The Monarchs return to the field Wednesday with a 3:30 p.m. non-conference game against Moravian.
