WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – In the first game, the Lycoming College baseball team's bullpen threw four scoreless innings and in the second, junior
Jake Wilber (Toms River, N.J./Toms River South) threw six no-hit innings to start as Lycoming swept Moravian University, 5-2 and 6-3, in Landmark Conference action at Brandon Park on Saturday, April 18.
Â
Wilber (5-3) threw 7 1/3 innings in the nightcap, allowing three hits, four walks and two runs, as he struck out three and established a new school record for wins in a season with his fifth win of the season. He was joined in the record-breaking column by senior
Danny DeLucas (Whittier, Calif./La Serna), who had two hits in the first game to give him a record 53 on the season.
Â
The Warriors (18-15 overall, 10-8 Landmark) jumped out with two runs in the first inning, as DeLucas and junior
Brody Lindsey (Monrovia, Md./DeMatha Catholic) each drew walks before junior
A.J. Llorente (Williamsport, Pa./Montoursville Area) and sophomore
Eric MacCluen (Downingtown, Pa./Bishop Shanahan) each delivered two-out RBI singles.
Â
In the fourth, MacCluen got things started with a double to right before a fielder's choice and a throwing error helped him score and senior
Jake Schilling (Levittown, Pa./Pennsbury) reach second base. A single by senior
Evan Mok (Daly City, Calif./St. Ignatius) scored Schilling. Mok stole second and scored from there with a heads up running play on a fielder's choice.
Â
Lycoming extended the lead to six runs in the sixth when DeLucas was hit by a pitch before sophomore
Sean Perkins (Berlin, N.J./Eastern Regional) tripled to right center.
Â
Wilber meanwhile retired 19 of the first 20 batters he faced, setting down the Greyhounds (10-20 overall, 4-12 Landmark) in order five times in the first six innings before Troy Rabosky broke up the no-hit bid with a homer with one-out in the seventh. Moravian got one more run in the seventh and a single tally in the ninth, but were limited by just five hits in the game.
Â
DeLucas scored twice and MacCluen was 3-for-3 with a run, a double and RBI for the Warriors. Luke Keitsock and Nick Henry each had two hits for the Greyhounds.
Â
Andrew Sagrestano (1-3) tossed four innings, allowing five runs, four hits and four walks.
