How It Happened
FORT PIERCE, Fla. – Lebanon Valley picked up its second consecutive sweep on Wednesday afternoon, defeating Monmouth College (Ill.) 9-4 and 1-0 on its spring break trip in Fort Pierce, Fla. In the nightcap, Tregg Liebel and Philip Berry combined for a one-hitter on the mound.

In the opening contest, the Dutchmen continued to score runs early, recording two runs in the top of the first off a two-RBI single by Colin Albright. After the Scots got one back in the bottom of the first, the Dutchmen added five in the top of the second to go up 7-1. Chris DeClerico started off the inning with a sacrifice fly, then Michael Puglisi singled through the left side to plate Trevor Bertsch. Joshua Marcelli followed by reaching on an error that scored Joshua Herring, then Albright was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to score Puglisi.
