As a freshman at Pearl River in 2019, Ewing and the Wildcats were 41-14, NJCAA Region 23 Champions and advanced to the NJCAA Division II World Series for the first time since 2002. Ewing hit .300 that season with 12 doubles, 11 home runs and 49 RBIs and was also 3-0 on the mound with a 3.29 ERA over seven games.
