Emory pounded out a dozen hits led by Brett Lake and Wes Peacock each recording three hits. Lake had a game-high three RBI's.
The Scots were paced offensively by Matt Jones who went 3-for-5 with an RBI. Chris Hamilton and Jesse Crisp each added a pair of hits to MC's eight hits attack.
Emory's Tyler Sprague moved to 2-0 on the season after scattering seven hits over seven innings of work. Matt McMahon picked up his first save of the season after two innings of one hit relief.
