MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – Eastern University Baseball (1-5) dropped a pair of games to a strong Penn State Harrisburg team on the third day of games in Myrtle beach.

How it Happened:
The Eagles opened the scoring in the first inning of the opener when Matt McHale singled and stole second. Britton Lawrence drove him in with a two-out single. After that, game one went south pretty quickly. The Lions (5-1-1), who reached the CAC Championship game last spring, scored multiple runs in each of the first four innings to open up a 15-1 lead that would stand as the final. The Eagles had six hits, but also committed seven errors.

Colyn Hoffer held the Lions to two runs through the first three innings, but Harrisburg opened up the game with five runs in the top of the fourth. The Eagles plated a single run on a Zach Belansek fly out in the fourth and did not score again until the sixth, where a pair of runners scored on a dropped third strike. Eastern (1-5) fell 11-3 in the second game.

Up Next:
The Eagles close out their Myrtle Beach trip with a single game against York College tomorrow morning.
