The Mountain Cats wrapped the day at 12-24 overall (4-14 PSAC).

Game One—Pitt-Johnstown 5, Lock Haven 4

After giving up four runs in the first, the Mountain Cats locked in to shut out the Bald Eagles over the final six innings.

Tied at 4-all, Alex Ebeling led off the seventh with a double and Stephen Rodgers came on as a pinch-runner. Justin Turcovski was hit by a pitch and Logan Ferguson singled to load the bases for Erik Rhodes, who drew the walk to score Rodgers and seal the win.

Seth Shuey picked up the win after tossing two scoreless innings in relief. Starter Aiden Coleman threw five innings, giving up four runs, two earned, on five hits in five innings of work.

Rhodes helped spark the Mountain Cats in the second with a leadoff walk. Karson Reffner was hit by a pitch, and Steinbugl laid down a bunt to move them both up before Crusen Stover stroked an RBI single to make it 4-1. Reffner later scored on a passed ball to cut the deficit to 4-2.

Turcovski belted a single to start the third and stole second. Following a walk and a sacrifice bunt, Rhodes brought home Turcovski with an RBI groundout that trimmed it to 4-3. 

The Mountain Cats finally tied it in the fourth after Stover cracked a double that scored Steinbugl, who walked to begin the inning.
