How It Happened
MIDDLETOWN, Pa. – After a thrilling walk-off win over Messiah yesterday in game two of a doubleheader, Lebanon Valley was on the opposite side of things this afternoon as Penn State Harrisburg hit a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth to edge the Dutchmen 9-8 in non-conference baseball action. LVC now sits at 10-20, while the Lions improved to 26-8.

Early on, the Dutchmen were the first to score when Colin Albright homered in his second-straight at-bat dating back to yesterday to give the Dutchmen an early 2-0 lead. Later in the inning, Michael Leri launched a solo bomb for his first long ball of the season that increased LVC's advantage to 3-0 and then Josh Herring's sacrifice fly scored Bryan Towers to make it 4-0.

After Harrisburg got one back in the bottom of the third, Albright sent another ball over the fence for his third-consecutive at-bat with a home run, increasing LVC's lead to 5-1. From there, the Lions scored one in the fourth and five in the fifth to go up 7-5 over the Dutchmen until the top of the seventh when Trevor Bertsch's RBI-groundout brought LVC to within one at 7-6. In the bottom of the eighth, Harrisburg's Cline homered to make it a two-run game at 8-6. The Dutchmen didn't go away quietly, however, and in the top of the ninth, Josh Marcelli tripled home Towers, followed by TJ Holdredge's RBI-double that tied the game at 8-8. In the bottom of the ninth, though, Brubaker singled home McSorley to allow Harrisburg to get the win.

Inside the Numbers
 - Towers, Bertsch, Marcelli, Albright, and Leri finished with two hits each, while Albright ended with three RBI.
 - The Lions were led by McSorley who had two hits, two RBI, and two runs scored.
 - On the mound, Jake Williams went four innings and scattered six hits while allowing five earned runs with four strikeouts.
 - As a team, the Dutchmen led in total hits at 13-11.

Who's Next?
LVC begins its final MAC Commonwealth series of the season on Friday when the Dutchmen travel to Reading to take on Alvernia at 3:30 p.m. before hosting the Golden Wolves in LVC's home finale on Saturday in a doubleheader.
