A five-run rally in the seventh inning of the second game of Saturday’s non-conference doubleheader helped lift the Lycoming College baseball team to a 6-4 win over SUNY New Paltz to split the twinbill after falling, 4-3, in the first game.

Down 3-1 through 6 ½ innings, the Warriors’ rally was kickstarted with a one-out double off the wall by junior right fielder Zachary Pleska before freshman catcher Tyler Wetzel, a Hughesville graduate, drew a walk. After a groundout, senior first baseman Danny DeLucas hit a fly ball to left that was just out of the reach of a diving outfielder to tie the game.

After junior third baseman Brody Lindsey and junior designated hitter A.J. Llorente, a Montoursville graduate, walked to load the bases, sophomore shortstop Sean Perkins delivered a line single into center and sophomore first baseman Eric MacCluen also drove in a run with a single.

New Paltz (5-5 overall) got on the board with a homer in the top of the fifth before Pleska responded with a homer in the bottom of the inning. The Hawks took the lead with two runs in the sixth and added another in the eighth, but freshman Eddie Weindel got a strikeout with the bases loaded, sophomore Grayson Rinker, a Montoursville graduate, got out of the inning with a fly out to right. Rinker allowed two hits in the ninth, but struck out two before getting a groundout to end the game.

Pleska led the Warriors (8-6 overall), going 3-for-4 with two runs, a double and a homer. DeLucas was also 2-for-5 with a run, a double and two RBI.

The offensive resurgence from Friday night’s seven-run, ninth-inning uprising carried over, as Bucknell routed Florida International 14-3 on Saturday in a game that was shortened to seven innings by the 10-run rule. Ben Magovern pitched five strong innings, Billy Fluharty had a career-high four hits, and Tyler Dunn and Michael Trommer homered to help the Bison win their second straight game and improve to 8-9 on the season.

After the seven-run ninth led to an 8-6 win on Friday, Bucknell wasted no time in this one. Fluharty hit the game’s first pitch up the middle for a single, and four pitches later Dunn took FIU starter Logan Runde out of the park to the opposite field.

FIU picked up an unearned run in the bottom of the first, and then John Calabrese started Bucknell’s two-run rally in the second with a one-out single. With two outs, Fluharty laced a couple into the right-center gap and Billy Kender drove in Fluharty with a sharp single.

• Mansfield softball split a doubleheader to Bowie State University on the road, losing 2-0 in the first game before stealing an extra-inning game two win, 3-2.

Three innings flew by in last non-conference series in the firs game, with both aces combining early no-hitter chances, with only Olivia Ackerson and Madison Bailey reaching base via walk, while the Bulldogs landed four via walk or error.

Putnam used her two-game winning streak boost to sink four strikeouts through the first innings and the scoreboard useless, heading into the fourth inning.

In the second game, a lead-off walk from Melissa Demo gave the red and black an early opportunity to score. Sarah Shupp delivered with an error by the catcher to move Demo and an error by the Bulldogs to score the first run.

The next quiet three innings were dominated by freshmen Reilly Storer, who held the Bulldogs to two hits and no runs up through the fourth inning, but the host also kept the Mounties cold at the plate despite the 1-0 advantage.

• On a day when Bucknell and Colgate combined to put 35 goals on the board, it was goalie Luke Renaud who came up with two critical saves in the final minute to help the Bison knock off the 15th-ranked Raiders, 18-17.

Michael Meyer recorded five goals and three assists, Connor Davis tallied three goals and a career-high four assists, and Luke Brunner recorded a natural hat trick in the third quarter to help the Bison erase a four-goal deficit. Meyer tied the game at 17-17 with his career-high-tying fifth goal of the day, and then Davis fired home the go-ahead goal one minute later.

Davis is now one goal away from tying Justin Zackey’s Bucknell career record. Davis had never recorded three assists in a game during his brilliant career, but he bagged a hat trick of helpers in the first quarter alone – all coming on the man-up unit – and his fourth of the day set up Meyer to tie the game at 16-all midway through a frantic fourth quarter.
