Scranton, PA -  Head Coach Mike McCarry and the Lackawanna College Baseball Program, have announced the commitments of 11 Falcons student-athletes to the next level.  While the season was unfortunately shortened due to Covid-19, the Lackawanna program continues to work behind the scenes to showcase the elite talent the team possesses.  These 11 student-athletes helped propel the Falcons to 7 wins in its last 8 games, before the season had to be shut down.  They have been instrumental in sending Lackawanna to the NJCAA World Series and earning a 2020 NJCAA #18 preseason ranking.  The Falcons Baseball program is proud to announce the following commitments, with comments from Coach McCarry.
