Senior Sean Perkins launched his team-leading third home run of the season to help the Lycoming College baseball team to a late lead, but 2025 NCAA Division III Championship team Elizabethtown College scored four runs in the ninth to steal both teams’ Landmark Conference opener, 7-6, on Saturday afternoon at Brandon Park.

Elizabethtown (7-2, 1-0) scored four runs on five hits in the ninth inning to deny Lycoming (7-7, 0-1) an opportunity to win their conference opener for the second season in a row.

After a 1-2-3 top of the first from junior right-hander Alex Halbert, a leadoff walk and a sacrifice bunt set the table for Perkins, who tagged a 2-1 fastball 388 feet over the center field fence for a two-run homer that gave the Warriors a 2-0 lead.

After back-to-back singles in the third, a ground ball up the middle followed that second baseman Kaden Shay, a South Williamsport graduate, stopped on a dive and flipped to second for an out. A run scored on the play, but Shay’s stop helped stem the tide for the Warriors, who maintained a 2-1 edge.

In the fourth, Lycoming restored the two-run advantage. Senior Brody Lindsay banged a double off the fence in left-center to begin the frame, moved to third on a sacrifice bunt, then came around to score on a groundout from senior Nick Hoheb.

Halbert brushed aside a one-out infield hit in the fourth, then spun a 1-2-3 fifth. In the sixth, though, David Woolley led off with a triple down the right-field line, then came home on a groundout from Mason Woolwine to bring the Blue Jays back within a run.

The right-hander returned for the seventh and surrendered a leadoff single, then induced two groundout that had him on the verge of completing the inning, but Alex Perrin sliced a two-out RBI double into the left-field corner that tied the game at three apiece. Halbert departed for senior southpaw Matt Guido, who recorded the final out of the inning to keep the game knotted up.

Michael Chiaravallo’s two-out pinch hit double in the eighth gave Bucknell its first series win in the Patriot League in a 9-8 victory over Lafayette at Depew Field at Marren Park. The Bison overcame a four-run deficit to win their second straight game over Lafayette and will look to sweep the Leopards.

Lafyette (1-12, 0-2 PL) took a big lead in the top of the sixth with a four-run burst, but Bucknell (6-10, 2-0 PL) answered immediately in the bottom half of the frame with four runs to tie it back up.

Billy Fluharty led off the eighth inning with a triple for his fourth hit of the afternoon. Lafayette earned two quick outs to hold Fluharty at third, but Chiaravallo came in to hit a blooper to center field for the game-winning run. Liam Jones then entered the game in the ninth to earn his first career save.

Bucknell improved to 6-2 overall and 2-1 in the Patriot League after regaining control in the fourth quarter. The Bison dominated the first half and led 8-5 at intermission, but the Raiders scored four goals in a five-minute span early in the third quarter to take the lead.

After Colgate went up 9-8 on a Quinn Spillett goal with 7:02 left in the third, a goalie change helped turn the momentum back in Bucknell’s favor. Jaz Zanelli came off the bench and made six big saves while the Bison surged back in front, and he threw in an assist on the go-ahead goal to boot.
