Lycoming College

With a pair of RBI at the plate and one of the biggest defensive plays of the year in a 10-5 win over Juniata that helped the Lycoming baseball team earn the first postseason appearance in program history has also helped junior Josh Bottger earn his first career Warrior of the Week award. With the score tied at 3 with one out and the bases loaded in the bottom of the fourth when the game resumed, Bottger set the tone for the day when he caught a fly ball in right field and fired a one-hop dart to home plate for a double play to cut down the tagging up runner to end the threat. He then added a sac fly of his own in the sixth to give Lycoming a 4-3 lead and added a RBI single in the seventh to make it 7-3. The right fielder finished the game 2-for-3 with a run and two RBI.

The outfielder, who entered the season hitting .180, is hitting .264 this season with 17 runs, a homer and 10 RBI, all of which are career highs.
