With bases loaded in the third inning of game one, Matt Meyers (Cheltenham, Pa.) knocked a hard ground ball to the shortshop that scored the first run of the game.

In the fifth inning the Nittany Lions extended their lead when Trey Guaglionona (Abington, Pa.) drove a ball to deep right field for a two run double.

In game two, the Beavers were first on the board with two runs in the top of the first.

The Nittany Lions answered in the bottom half of the inning with three runs. Guaglionona knocked in the first run with a sacrifice fly. A double from Anthony Pletscher (Hatfield, Pa.) and single from Austin Mikula (Philadelphia, Pa.) drove in the next two runs.

In the next inning Max German (Newtown, Pa) smashed his pitch over the right field fence for his first home run of the season.

Abington put the game away in the fourth inning with three more runs.

The team returns to the field tomorrow when they host Stockton for a doubleheader tomorrow at noon.
