Box Score MADISON, N.J. – The Susquehanna University baseball team ended the regular season by winning two of their last three games, including picking up a 3-2 Landmark Conference victory on the road over Drew University (0-17, 0-17 LC). The second game of Sunday's doubleheader was called in the top of the fifth inning with Susquehanna (9-15, 9-12 LC) leading 13-2. The game was four outs short of being official and therefore, none of the statistics from the second game do not count.
The River Hawks, who clinched the No. 6 seed in the 2021 Landmark Baseball Championship with Saturday's split at Juniata College, will host seventh-seeded Drew on Tuesday, May 11, in a single-elimination play-in game at Harold Bollinger Field in Selinsgrove. No game time has been announced yet.
How It Happened
Drew jumped on the scoreboard first when
Jake Welsh connected for a one-out RBI single in the bottom of the first inning to bring home
Cole Bosch who drew a lead-off walk and then stole second.
The Rangers added to their lead in the third thanks to
Matthew Kroll's one-out solo shot.
With two outs on the board, Susquehanna commandeered the lead in the top of the sixth by scoring all three of its runs. Junior
Adam Schreck (Manasquan, N.J./Manasquan) hit a single to centerfield to drive in the first River Hawk run, scoring senior
Chris Corrado (Tuckahoe, N.Y./Tuckahoe), who reached on a Drew fielding error.
Susquehanna's final two runs resulted from senior
Steve Lorenz's (Langhorne, Pa./William Penn) double to centerfield, allowing fifth-year senior
Craig Roumes (Succasunna, N.J./Roxbury), who reached on a second Ranger field error, and
Schreck to come home.
