READING, Pa. – Albright Baseball (11-10-1) hosted Neumann to cap off a lengthy stretch at home. Through nine innings of play, a late Lions comeback would tie the game in the eighth before the Knights plated one final run in the ninth for the 9-8 win.
 
Chris Gorla drove in the first run of the day for the Lions with an RBI single to right field to bring home Tommy Lewman. Lewman ended the day with a pair of RBIs including one in the eighth to tie the game.
 
With the Knights striking back, Gorla would come through yet again in the fifth with a double to left field to bring home Lewman once more. 
 
Chris Valerio struck out four batters in 2.1 innings out of the bullpen and helped stabilize things for Albright. 
 
By the bottom of the eighth, things started to look bleak for the Lions as Neumann built up a 8-3 lead and appeared to be in full control.
 
What then followed was a five-run rally from the Lions to eventually tie the game 8-8 in dramatic fashion. Luke Filliben would start the scoring in the eighth with a double to score Tyler Boccelli and Anthony Knight. 
 
A Nathan Golden walk with the bases loaded followed by Christian Eckstein beating out a double play would bring the Lions within one (8-7) before Lewman wearing a pitch would bring the Lions all the way back going into the ninth inning. 
 
Ultimately, the Knights would score the game's final run in the ninth to leave with a road victory in what turned out to be a game lacking no offense from either side.
