Big Day for Baseball
The Williamson baseball team heads to Virginia for a key doubleheader against Christendom College today, in hopes of keeping their Eastern States Athletic Conference play-off chances alive.
In order to secure a play-off spot, the Mechanics will have to sweep the host Crusaders. Williamson unfortunately missed a golden opportunity to put themselves in a position to only need a split today, when they dropped a 13-4 decision road decision to Bucks County , their third conference loss in a row.
Gaining a doubleheader sweep will not be easy for Williamson. The teams split a doubleheader two weeks ago at Williamson, with Williamson needing a game winning home run by Josh Illing in the bottom of the seventh to win game two, 10-8, after dropping the opening game, 20-12.
The two teams in the conference play each other in a one-game championship contest at a date and time to be determined. Central Penn, the defending ESAC champions, has already secure the top spot for that play-off game.
