AUBURNDALE, Fla. -- The Washington & Jefferson college baseball team had its offense come alive early and often as the Presidents downed St. Scholastica 10-3 at Lake Myrtle Park on Monday afternoon.
 
The Presidents knocked a season-high 13 hits and matched their highest run total for the 2020 season.
 
After Henry Litman (Marietta, Ga./Walton) sat down St. Scholastica in order in the top half of the first, the Red and Black struck for three runs in the bottom of the frame.
 
Peter Kalinski (Washington, D.C./St. John's College) plated Nate Rush (Wheeling, W.Va./The Linsly School) and Joey Bolick (Gibsonia, Pa./Pine-Richland) with a towering two-run double to the left field fence. Adam Moore (Olean, N.Y./Archbishop Walsh) smacked a hard-hit ball through the right side of the infield to score Kalinski as the Presidents led 3-0.
 
The Saints scored a run in the top of the second, but W&J came back with a pair of run-scoring hits in the bottom of the third.
 
Evan Sante (Pittsburgh, Pa./Plum) and Adam Jaworski (Canonsburg, Pa./Peters Township) smacked back-to-back two-out run-scoring singles to push W&J ahead 5-1 after three.
 
Nick Guercio (Cabot, Pa./Knoch) drove in Kalinski in the bottom of the sixth to push W&J ahead 6-1.
 
St. Scholastica put a pair of runners on with two outs in the sixth, but Litman coaxed a flyout to end the threat.
 
The Presidents added a run in the seventh with Bolick doubling down the left field line and coming around on a Kalinski single.
 
Litman struck out a pair of Saints in the seventh, ending his day with one earned run and five strikeouts without a walk.
 
In the bottom of the seventh, Tyler York (Pataskala, Ohio/Newark Catholic) connected on a two-run single and Bolick drove in Rush as the President lead stretched to 10-1.
 
Kamden Kautz (Oro Valley, Ariz./Ironwood Ridge) worked a one-two-three eighth inning and Nolan Kosh (Belle Vernon, Pa./Yough) struck out three batters in the ninth as the Presidents collected a 10-3 victory.
 
Bolick and Kalinski rapped three hits apiece, including a double for each. Bolick scored twice and drove in one run while Kalinski had three RBI and two runs.
 
Rush and Zito each scored twice while Sante and Moore had multi-hit games.
 
Litman through a career-high seven innings, allowed just four hits and one run in his first collegiate win.
