GREENSBORO, N.C. – Junior second baseman Evan Mok (Daly City, Calif./St. Ignatius) went 3-for-4 with a homer, two runs, two RBI and two stolen bases in his debut with the Lycoming College baseball team, but a late rally helped Greensboro College post a 9-5 non-conference win at Ted Leonard Park on Friday, Feb. 16.
 
Sophomore Zachary Pleska (Salem, Ohio/Columbiana) added a 3-for-5 effort with two doubles and two RBI, as he combined with Mok for six of Lycoming's eight hits in the 2024 debut.
 
The Pride (1-0 overall) jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first two innings before Mok homered to left in the third inning to get the Warriors (0-1 overall) on the board. Senior Joey Trout (North East, Md./St. Elizabeth) was hit to lead off the fourth and came around to score on the first double of the day from Pleska in the fourth to make it 3-2.
 
Lycoming tied the game at four in the fifth, as Mok was hit by a pitch and stole second before junior Danny DeLucas (Whittier, Calif./La Serna) walked and a double steal moved them to second and third. A wild pitch allowed Mok to score before a double down the line from Pleska with two outs tied the game.
 
The Warriors took the lead in the top of the sixth, as sophomore Nick Reeder (Montoursville, Pa./Montoursville) singled to lead off, moved to second on a groundout, stole third and scored on a two-out single from Mok.
 
Greensboro scored three in the bottom half of the inning though, to take the lead and two more in the seventh, while not letting a runner past second in the last three innings.
 
Chris Le went 3-for-3 with three runs and two RBI to lead the Pride and Adam Weber went 3-for-5 with a run and three RBI.
 
Mo Lopez (1-0) earned the win for the Pride, allowing three hits and a run in 2 2/3 innings of relief. He struck out five. First-year Alex Halbert (Laurel, Md./Atholton) (0-1) took the loss, allowing three hits and three runs in 1 2/3 innings. He walked two and struck out two.
 
The Warriors continue their three-game set at Greensboro on Saturday, Feb. 17, at 2 p.m.
