SCRANTON, Pa. -- The twenty-eighth Lackawanna College Athlete of the Week for the 2025-2026 school year is Lackawanna College baseball student-athlete, Josiah Williams (Emmaus, PA)!

Josiah threw his best game of the season against Morris on Saturday, allowing just one run in six innings and striking out a season-best ten batters in the 11-3 win for the Falcons. It was the third-straight victory in what has now become a six-game winning streak for the Falcons. Jo pitched around four walks and he had only two real innings of trouble. In the third, Morris used an error and two walks to load the bases with one out, but Williams struck out the side in the inning, including the final two batters to strand the bases loaded. In the sixth, Morris had a leadoff single and then an RBI triple to score its first run of the game, but Williams struck out a batter, got a grounder to third that held the runner, and then struck out the final batter to strand that run and finish his day strong. Josiah is now 4-6 overall and has 45 strikeouts in 37.1 innings, the most on the team.

Josiah is a sophomore student-athlete at Lackawanna College, majoring in Business Studies, and he will be a guest on a future episode of Falcons Corner, airing every Wednesday at 10am ET at lackawannafalcons.com/youtube.

The Falcons are back in action on Wednesday, April 15th, with a road game at Monroe University in New Rochelle, NY,  before coming home for a single nine-inning contest against Delaware Tech CC on Friday, April 17th, in Region XIX DII play.
