Lackawanna College (15-11) is on a three-game winning streak, and has won seven of its last nine.

In Wednesday's doubleheader, the Falcons drew 13 walks in game one, posting 12 hits and then handing the keys over to their bullpen, which made it stand up for the game one win at 17-5. In game two, Lackawanna College trailed 3-0 after 2.5 and was down 3-2 heading into the top of the fifth. That changed on a Christian Rush (Perkasie, PA) solo homer that tied the game, and the Falcons took the lead for good later that inning on a Cole Casamento (Limerick, PA) two-run double.
