Logan Kiess, Aiden Barlett and Tyler Wetzel all had two hits but Mount Carmel played excellent defense and scored two fourth inning runs to blank Hughesville, 2-0.

The Tornadoes pulled within a game of first-place Hughesville (10-2) in the HAC-III standings. Barlett hit a double and Dylan Bieber and Jed Webb held Mount Carmel scoreless in five of six innings pitched.

• Mansfield’s baseball team split with Bloomsburg in a PSAC Eastern Division doubleheader. The Mounties fell in a 3-2 pitcher’s duel in game one before winning the nightcap, 11-7.

With the victory in game two, Mansfield improves to 13-28 overall and 4-17 in the PSAC East while the Huskies fall to 22-14 overall and 12-9 in conference.

Prior to the start of game one, the Mountaineers honored their eight seniors: Brittain Shander, Zach Spray, Josh Colon, Lorenzo Febbo, Justin Marykwas, Scott Poulson, Josh Farina and Alan Bautista.

Every senior contributed on Saturday, as Shander, Farina, Spray and Bautista all recorded hits, while Febbo, Marykwas, Poulson, and Colon took the mound in the Mounties’ game-two victory.

Catchers Jake Wortman and Nic Adamo came through with clutch hits in the late innings in each game, Sean Keys had another game-winning knock, and Bucknell added two more come-from-behind, last-at-bat wins in a doubleheader sweep of Holy Cross.

The Bison won 4-2 and 7-5 and not only clinched a Patriot League Tournament spot, but they lowered their magic number to one over Navy to potentially earn the No. 2 seed if they also stay ahead of fourth-place Lafayette.

Bucknell was slow to get the bats going in both games, as Holy Cross held a normally potent offense to one run through five innings in the opener and one run through six in the nightcap. But the Bison rallied in the late innings to win both games, making it 15 come-from-behind victories this season and eight in which the winning run came in their final at-bat.

The Bison had struggled mightily against Holy Cross in recent years, as the Crusaders had won 12 of the previous 14 meetings entering this series. That included a doubleheader sweep of the Bison on Apr. 3 in Worcester.

Lock Haven closed the 2023 regular season today at home vs. Indiana in PSAC Western Division action. The Bald Eagles were edged out in a thriller as the Crimson Hawkes escaped the 26-goal thriller with a narrow, 14-12 win.

Prior to the game, Lock Haven celebrated and honored the 2023 graduating senior class: Gracie Chaires, Brianna Cook, Alexa Staffu, Shannen Roy, Casey Hibbard, Elizabeth Newman and Sydney Schramm.

Abby Katrinak led all goal-scorers with five goals on the day. She was nearly unstoppable on the offensive end and the five goals today helped run her season total to 38.

• Freshman Riley Block scored four goals to lead the Lycoming College women’s lacrosse team, which clinched a spot in the MAC Freedom Championship, but fell to first-place FDU-Florham, 16-8.

The Warriors (8-8 overall, 4-4 MAC Freedom) clinched the No. 5 seed at the MAC Freedom Championship and will head to No. 4 seed Arcadia University (8-9 overall, 5-3 MAC Freedom) for a 7 p.m. game on Monday night, clinching the spot due to Arcadia’s 20-11 win over DeSales on Saturday. FDU-Florham (9-8 overall, 7-1 MAC Freedom) enters the tournament as the No. 3 seed, despite tying with No. 1 Stevens and No. 2 Misericordia for the No. 1 spot in the conference standings.

Block became the fifth Warrior rookie to reach 50 goals in a season with her third of four goals in the game, joining Kelly McGinniss (2016, 66), Sarah Wingerden (59, 2006), Katie Maguire (58, 2022) and Megan McIntyre (50, 2007).

Sophomore Katie Maguire added two goals to give her a team-leading 63 on the season and sophomore Alexa Baldwin added an assist to move into ninth in program history with 26 assists this year.
