EWING TOWNSHIP, N.J. -- The Haverford College baseball team (11-6) put on a clinic offensively and on the mound Thursday aftertoon in a non-conference game against The College of New Jersey (14-2), winning by a 10-1 final score. The Fords totaled 17 hits including six batters in the starting lineup who reached base mutliple times in the contest. Starting pitcher Tom Phillips picked up his first win of the season, slicing through the Lions' batting order and allowing just one hit in the outing.

Second baseman Zach Taylor finished a home run shy of a cycle. He tallied four hits in five at bats with a run and an RBI. The senior had four hits just one other time in his career, in an 8-1 win over Franklin & Marshall last season.

Phillips, a freshman, notched a big win in his first career start. The La Canada, Calif. native lasted six innings and struck out three, giving up just one earned run. Perhaps most impressively, he allowed just one hit-- a single in the second inning. 

Haverford's offense came consistently as the team scored runs in six different innings, beginning with two in the first when Nick Ott and Spencer Sohmer picked up RBI singles. Two innings later, the Fords scored two more when Matt Goss hit his third home run of the season, a solo shot, and then Sam Kane drove in Sohmer to make it 4-0. Goss finished the game 3-for-5 with four runs scored and an RBI.

The Fords scored their fifth and sixth runs in the next inning when Ott singled in Ben Furlong and then Matt Goss advanced home on an error. Ott drove in another run in the seventh, giving him three RBI on the day. The senior catcher totaled three hits in five at bats.

John Masella, Jared Deveau, and George Hatamiya each pitched a scoreless inning in relief.

Haverford wraps up its six-game road trip with a double header to start conference play at Johns Hopkins on Saturday. First pitch is scheduled for 12:30 p.m.
