Mountain Hawks Drop Series Finale at Bucknell

4/24/2022 4:54:00 PM | Baseball

Box Score
LEWISBURG, Pa. – Bucknell jumped out to a 7-0 lead after two innings, and the Lehigh baseball team couldn't recover, falling 20-3 in the series finale Sunday in Lewisburg. Despite Sunday's result, the Mountain Hawks (20-19, 8-10 PL) come out of the weekend with a big series victory over the Bison (17-21, 13-9 PL) after sweeping Saturday's doubleheader. Senior Casey Rother paced Lehigh with two hits on the afternoon.
 
Rother finished 2-for-4 with a walk (his fourth straight multi-hit game), RBI and run scored. First-year Sam Holtz and sophomore Tyler Young knocked in Lehigh's other runs.
 
A Rother third-inning single drove in sophomore Andrew Nole, who led off the inning with a walk. That pulled the Mountain Hawks within 7-1. Lehigh went on to load the bases, but Bucknell starting pitcher Austin Odell got out of the jam. Bucknell responded with the next 13 runs before the Mountain Hawks plated two in the eighth. A Holtz single scored Rother while Young followed with a single as well, plating senior Gerard Sweeney.
 
The Mountain Hawks return to J. David Walker Field for their next four, beginning on Thursday when they host Cairn at 3 p.m. Lehigh also welcomes Holy Cross for a doubleheader Saturday (beginning at noon) and single game Sunday (also noon).
