Bethlehem, PA – Sophomore designated hitter John Zaszewski hit a three-run homer to left as part of a five-run second inning that lifted Lehigh past Delaware State at Goodman Field by an 8-6 score on Tuesday afternoon.  The victory is Lehigh’s second straight, and improves the Mountain Hawks to 14-10 on the season.  The Hornets fall to 11-17 with the defeat.

 

The home run was one of two hits on the day for Zaszewski in the win.  Senior shortstop Eric Hoffman led off the bottom of the fourth with a solo homer to left en route to the victory.  Center fielder Dan Russell laced two hits for the Mountain Hawks on the afternoon.

 

Joe Raniszewski started the game for the Mountain Hawks, pitching the first 3.1 innings.  Karl Weimer (2-0) came on and pitched an inning and two-thirds in relief to earn the victory. 

 

Lehigh is back in action Saturday, when the Mountain Hawks return to Patriot League play against Bucknell.  First pitch of the doubleheader is scheduled for noon from Depew Field in Lewisburg.
