GLENVILLE, W. Va. – The Lock Haven University baseball team (6-7) faced off against Glenville State (12-2) in a single nine-inning game on Sunday afternoon after a lengthy rain delay caused the double header to be changed to a single contest. The Pioneers took the non-conference matchup 13-6.
 
The Pioneers started off the first inning hot and knocked in four runs, including a three-run home run to take a 4-0 lead. Glenville State drove in another run in the second inning to push ahead 5-0.
 
In the top of the fifth, Gabe Stirr (Canadensis, Pa./Pocono Mtn. East) put the Bald Eagles on the scoreboard with an RBI single which drove in Zach Kaatz (Stafford, Va./Mountain View) and cut the Pioneer lead to 5-1.
 
The Pioneers responded with a barrage of runs. To end the sixth inning, they scored eight runs off six hits, including another three-run home run to increase their lead to 13-1.
 
LHU scored five more runs over the next two innings. Gavin Troutman (Boyertown, Pa./Oley Valley) laced a two-RBI single. Jake Mastillo (Roaring Brook Twp, Pa./North Pocono) also notched an RBI, and the Bald Eagles got two more runs off a Glenville State error to bring the deficit to 13-6. The Bald Eagles got no closer however, and the Pioneers notched the win on a rainy afternoon.
