LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The Lock Haven University baseball team (16-25-1 split a doubleheader with Bloomsburg University (24-17) today in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) crossover matchup at Foundation Field.
Before the games, LHU honored the veterans of our military with the celebration of the second annual Wounded Warrior game. Families and friends had the opportunity to sponsor a veteran for the day.
