How It Happened
 
* Abington flipped the script in the top half of the seventh inning with a five-run frame.  The Nittany Lions trailed 5-4 entering the inning but by inning's end held a 9-5 advantage for its first lead since the first inning. Senior Zach Bauers gave Abington a 6-5 lead with an early two-run home run.  Later in the inning the Nittany Lions added two more scores taking advantage of miscues by the Altoona defense.  Junior Mike Brocco capped the scoring with a two-out run scoring hit to make the score 9-5.

* Junior Zachary Dennis held the Altoona offense scoreless in his two-inning relief appearance.  Dennis struck out two batters and didn't allow a single hit on his way to his second save of the season.
 
* Abington jumped out to a 3-0 lead as the first four batters of the game reached base.  Freshman Jaxon Horvath highlighted the inning with a two-run base hit.  Earlier in the inning, freshman John Busco drove in the game's first run with a single to left.
 
* In the bottom of the first, Altoona answered with three runs as well to tie the game. Owen Dombrosky hit a two-run triple and then scored on a double by Zach Ingold. Altoona grabbed a 5-3 lead with a pair of runs in the fifth. 
 
* Abington made it a one-run game in the sixth after sophomore Aqual Chapman doubled to left to score Horvath.  The Nittany Lions then followed with a five-run seventh inning.
