In the third inning, Dylan Heyduk led off the inning with a triple. He got to home plate off a hit from Tyler Hmielewski. The River Hawks were able to push the lead forward and ended the third inning 3-0.
Entering the bottom of the seventh inning, the score was 3-1. Lance Book hit a single RBI to bring the lead back up to 4-1. The eighth inning was the opening of the floodgates for Susquehanna. The River Hawks were able to get six hits and earn five runs. This put Susquehanna up 9-1. Lycoming got a run in the ninth inning, which made the final score 9-2.
This dominant performance by the River Hawks put them at 16-12 on the season. The game showed great hitting, good base running, and spectacular defense from Susquehanna. Hopefully, the players can carry out their momentum for the remainder of the season.
