How It Happened
A seventh inning wild pitch allowed Stevenson to plate the game-winning run in the Mustangs' 6-5 win over Lebanon Valley at Park Field on Friday afternoon.

The home team (5-7-2, 4-1 CC) scored the game's first three runs in the bottom of the third inning before Colin Albright's double plated Phill Dohner and got the Flying Dutchmen (5-7, 1-2 CC) on the board in the fourth.

Troy Miller's double in the bottom of the stanza drove in two more runs for Stevenson but LVC drew even with a four-run top of the fifth. Zach Smith's RBI single scored Michael Puglisi, a Dohner groundout plated Zac Edwards, and Devin Dellinger's double to right center allowed Smith and Brett Fundell to cross the dish, tying the score at 5-5.

A lead-off walk came back to bite the Dutchmen in the seventh, however, when Stevenson's Jake Dimon scored on a two-out wild pitch that proved to be the difference.

LVC put together a two-out rally in the ninth when Albright and Greg Orlando moved into scoring position but the Mustangs' Alec Romanowski got Matthew Smarkanic to fly out to end the game.
