Box Score Myrtle Beach, SC - The Lackawanna College Baseball team wrapped up their 3 day Myrtle Beach trip with another doubleheader.

In the first game, they would take on Lakeland Community College and then end the day facing Spoon River College.
Nick Termini got the start for Lackawanna and he wasted no time getting things started, as he struck out the side. His team would give him support, when
Carson Zuber scored on a passed ball, to put the Falcons up 1-0. The scoring continued, as
David Williams hit an RBI double and then scored on a single by
John Crane, to increase the lead to 3-0. The inning would end with Lackawanna leading 5-0, after

David Williams and
Colin Macko both doubled, to add a 7th run, and Williams also hit a two run homer to give Lackawanna a 10-2 advantage. In the bottom of 6th,
Kieran Versaw-Barnes,
Marlon Lindsey and
Owen Kiess each doubled, while
Carson Zuber added a single. As their half of the 6th ended, the Falcons enjoyed a 13-4 lead. That is all Lacakwanna would need, as they won their 4th game in a row. Termini picked up the win, only giving up 1 run and recording 4 strike outs.
In game 2, the Falcons' bats picked up where they left off from the first game of the day. They would explode for 11 runs in the 1st inning, behind a grand slam from
German Vasquez, followed by a 2-run homer from
David Williams. On the season, this is the most runs Lackawanna has scored in one inning. Spoon River got in on the home run action by hitting a few of their own, to cut into the lead, 11-3.
Quinn Buffington erased what the Snappers put on the scoreboard, when he hit a 3-run homer over the left field wall, putting the Falcons up, 14-3. They would enjoy a 16-5 lead, but Spoon River came alive and scored 8 straight runs to trim the Falcons' lead to 16-13, in the 5th inning. Spoon River scored again in the 6th inning to get within 1 run. However, Lackawanna was able to hold off the rally, and out score Spoon River 6-2 to come away with the win, 22-17.
With the win, the Falcons have now won 5 straight games and leave Myrtle Beach winning 5 of the 6 games they played.
