Pitcher Jayce Thoroughman (‘29) delivered a standout performance on the mound in his first season as a Ranger, while Nick Bisaccia (‘26) powered the offense as Drew University defeated Catholic University of America 10–2 on Sunday, March 15 to secure a series victory in Landmark Conference play.

Thoroughman tossed seven strong innings, allowing just one run on two hits while striking out eight. The freshman kept Catholic’s hitters off balance throughout the afternoon, helping Drew take control early and maintain the lead.

Bisaccia led the Rangers’ offense, blasting two home runs and driving in multiple runs. His power at the plate helped Drew gradually build separation before breaking the game open late.

The Rangers pulled away in the eighth inning, scoring five runs to extend their advantage. A two-run double from Aidan Mitchell (‘27) highlighted the rally before Bisaccia added a two-run homer to make it 10–0.

Catholic scored twice late in the game, including a ninth-inning home run, but the Rangers’ pitching and timely hitting proved decisive.

With the win, Drew captured the three-game series and gained early momentum in Landmark Conference play as the season continues.

The 8-4 Rangers are set to take on Elizabethtown College on March 21 and 22.
