Nyack threatened the Lions in the ninth, but freshman Alex Fox (Ellwood City High School) struck out the side. Beaver put a runner on in the ninth, but he didn't get past second base before the final out was recorded. 

In the loss, freshman Jake Ellis (Seneca Valley High School) pitched six strong innings, giving up two runs, four hits, walking three, and striking out eight. Offensively, sophomore Joe Scherer (Quaker Valley High School) had two hits in the loss.
