BEL AIR, Md. – Lackawanna College surrendered 17 walks and the host squad from Harford CC was more than happy to take advantage, as the Fighting Owls won going away, 16-4, in seven innings over the Falcons on Saturday afternoon in Maryland.
 
The Falcons (10-15) held a 4-2 advantage after the top of the third inning, thanks to three-runs in the second and a solo homerun from David Baltrusaitis (Sophomore; Tunkhannock, PA) in the third. But, the Owls (25-8) hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the third to tie the game, hit a solo homer to start the fourth, and ended up scoring seven runs on three hits and eight walks in the bottom half to blow the game wide open.
 
Lackawanna never really had much to write home about after that. The Falcons had the bases loaded in the sixth, down 13-4, with one out, but stranded the runners on a strikeout, followed by a ground out. Harford went ahead 16-4 in the bottom of the sixth, forcing the Falcons to need to score in the seventh to keep things alive, but three-straight strikeouts ended the game early and sent Lackawanna to its second straight loss.
 
Lackawanna managed just five hits all-together. Baltrusaitis went 1-for-2 with the homer, while Jake Kelleher (First Year; Exeter, PA) was 1-for-2 with a run scored, and Brayden D'Amico (Sophomore; Bethlehem, PA) was 1-for-2 with a run driven in. Nicholas Biasi (First Year; Hazle Township, PA) was tagged with the loss, giving up ten runs on seven hits and nine walks in 3.1 innings pitched.
 
Lackawanna will get back to work on Tuesday, April 2^nd, when the Falcons travel to take on Montgomery County CC in a single, nine-inning contest. First pitch is at 3:30pm ET in Blue Bell, PA.
