E. to 7-6 overall and 4-1 in the Patriot League.
As has been the case throughout the season, the junior right-hander Mason Black was excellent in the first game of the two-game set. Black had a no-hitter through three innings, knocked out seven of nine batters at one point and only allowed one run with three hits in the end, which earned the win and the entire game.
In the second game, it was a hit and defense combination that stood out for the Mountain Hawks as Junior Joe Gorla was the hero on the plate of the competition, going 3v5 with a double and four RBIs while Gerard Sweeney continued his hot pace went on and went with a home run and two RBIs 3 against 4. Lehigh hit 11 hits, adding eight runs to speed up the team.
All in all, it was the pitching that came up again when the dominant arms of Black, Matt Svanson and Luke Rettig together defeated 15 batters, allowing only four deserved runs between the two games.
“Our big arms, our horses really guided them today,” said head coach Sean Leary. “These three guys were very strong at the beginning of the season, but we haven’t put a whole game together. We haven’t played on the days we scored and vice versa. But today I thought we were excellent on the defensive played. ” I’m just proud of the fact that while we’ve struggled in these areas, we’re only working harder.
“We just put so much work into it and I really think this was our most complete weekend. The pitching did what it did. But then hitting the clutch and some really defensive play of the clutch helped us, those two Games to win. ”
