Lock Haven edges Concord
The Concord University baseball team rallied from a late-inning deficit but fell in 10 innings, 6-5, to Lock Haven Saturday afternoon in the MEC-PSAC Mixer at the Sue Morris Complex.
Trailing 4-2 in the top of the eighth inning, Concord (3-5) plated two runs to tie the game. Senior outfielder Ryan Fralin and senior infielder Nathan Neff reached base to start the inning with a double and a walk, respectively. Two batters later, freshman catcher Nick Funk came through with an RBI single to plate Fralin, and senior outfielder Adam Linkous followed with his own run-scoring hit to knot the game.
LHU (3-2) broke the tie in the bottom of the eighth, but the Mountain Lions came right back as freshman first baseman/catcher Michael Dupont doubled to start the inning and scored on a Lock Haven error to square the contest once again.
The Mountain Lions were primed to regain the lead in the top of the 10th as redshirt freshman outfielder Richard Ortiz got to third, but was stranded with two outs. In the bottom half, a one-out double from the Bald Eagles scored on a two-base hit during the next at-bat from Santino Nave.
