Apprentice scored a run in the top of the first, but Beaver took a 2-1 lead when they scored two in the bottom of the first.

In the bottom of the seventh, freshman Alex Fox (Ellwood City High School) knocked a 2-1 pitch over the right field fence for a walk-off home run and a 9-8 win.

Senior Pat Ringel (Sto Rox High School) pitched all seven innings for the win and gave up seven hits, walked two, and struck out seven. Offensively, sophomore Greg Frederick (Quaker Valley High School) had four hits, three doubles, one triple, two runs, and drove in three. Freshman Huston Lorenzo (Miami, FL) had two hits and two runs.

The Lions return to PSUAC action on Thursday, April 10 when they host Penn State Fayette for a 2 p.m. doubleheader.
