WALTHAM, Mass. (AP) — Emory routed Brandeis 31-4 in a doubleheader opener, setting a Division III University Athletic Association record for runs in a game. The Eagles then won the second game 31-7.

Jack Halloran, a 20-year-old sophomore infielder from Westhampton Beach, New York, was 9 for 10 in Saturday's doubleheader with four homers, three doubles, 15 RBIs and 10 runs.

The scoring broke the previous UAA record set by Emory in a 24-8 win at NYU on April 2 last year. The Eagles' prior team record was set in a 26-1 win at Saint John Fisher on March 7, 1995, and matched in a season-opening 26-2 victory at University of the South on Feb. 7, 1998.

Each game of the doubleheader was seven innings. Emory scored six runs in both the second and fifth innings of the opener and 12 in the sixth, then scored nine runs in the third inning of the nightcap and 12 in the sixth.

Emory said it marked the 10th and 11th times a team scored 30 or more runs in Division III this year and the Eagles were the first team to accomplish the feat twice this season.

Halloran homered twice with five hits and nine RBIs in the opener and doubled twice with a homer and six RBIs in the second game.

Blake Dincman, a sophomore catcher from Tallahassee, Florida, who transferred from Tulane and Gulf Coast State College, homered and had five RBIs in the opener. Ellis Schwartz was a single short of the cycle and had three RBIs and Jacob Grossman and Steven Hunt also homered.

Schwartz was 4 for 5 with a home run and six RBIs in the second game, and Henry Pelinksi had four hits and five RBIs.

Brandeis starter Asher Kaplan allowed 11 runs — 10 earned — in three innings of the opener, Jacob Cha gave up eight runs in 1 2/3 innings, Gavin Dauer three runs in one-third of an inning and Brian King nine runs in one inning.

Then in the nightcap, Marc Maestri gave up 11 runs in three innings, Reid Lathan nine runs in two innings, Nick Neafey six runs in one inning and Mike DiCenso five runs in one inning.
