Falcons Set Single-Season Home Run Record in Loss to LVC

Despite hitting three home runs and scoring 14 runs on a beautiful Tuesday afternoon the Messiah baseball team fell short of the Lebanon Valley Dutchmen by a 17-14 final score. In the non-conference game, Messiah put runs on the board in six of their nine trips to the plate, but were unable to keep pace with the Dutchmen. Lebanon Valley put single runs on the board in the first, second, and fourth before putting crooked numbers up in three of the final five frames.
 
Evan Wagaman led Messiah's offensive effort, knocking a pair of home runs as part of a 4-5 day at the plate. Wagaman drove home four runs, scored three times, and now has nine homers on the year. Isaiah Parido hammered his eighth homer of the year in the ninth, lifting his total to eight on the season.
