Game One Box ScoreGame Two Box ScoreFollowing a loss to Elizabethtown, the Albright College baseball team rebounded to claim victory in both games of a doubleheader against conference foe Arcadia University today.
Arcadia drew first blood in game one as

Alex Myers, knocking in
Tom Wagner to give the Knights the 1-0 lead.
The Lions tied the game up in the bottom half of the second inning on a
John Medvecky single, scoring
Max Dundore, who had started the inning with a base hit.
Albright added to their lead in the third, scoring three runs in the inning, two of which coming off of a
Dylan Boll triple to right field. Junior
Gabe Santone later capitalized on a sacrifice fly, scoring Boll, to give the Lions a 4-1 lead.
After scoring one run in the fifth inning, Arcadia was able to tie the ballgame in the sixth off of two hits and an error, but Freshman
Trevor Mastria entered the game in relief and stopped the bleeding.
With the game tied 4-4, Boll led off the seventh with a single and pinch runner
Nathan Fretz stole second base to give the Lions a runner in scoring position. After advancing Fretz to third base on a Santone foul out, the Lions won the game on a
Zac Okonski sacrifice fly to left field.

Albright carried their momentum into game two, as the Lions put themselves on the board first in the second inning, scoring two runs on a Santone single up the middle.
These initial runs proved crucial as they held on to a 2-1 victory behind a strong pitching performance by freshman
