Box Score A day after the wheels fell off in a 23-9 loss to Dickinson, the Lancaster Bible baseball team rebounded nicely as the Chargers defeated Penn St. York, 4-3 thanks to a total team effort at Charger Field.

Despite playing on its home field, the Chargers were actually the road team in Saturday's tilt as the game was originally scheduled to be played in York, but due to field conditions, the game was moved to LBC. Everything but the field stayed the same and through the first four innings, it looked like the Chargers' offense may have driven to York for the game.

Junior pitcher Caleb Mayer was great on the hill for the Chargers though and he allowed the Lancaster Bible offense to finally wake up and did they ever. The Chargers pounded 12 more hits on Saturday, a day after they had 16 hits against Dickinson. Trailing 1-0 into the top of the fifth, the Chargers got back-to-back hits from Ricky Bisch and Justin Taylor to take a 2-1 lead.

A sacrifice fly from Matt Taliercio made it 3-1 before the inning ended and the score stayed that way until the top half of the eighth inning when junior Nate Long hit his first home run of the season and gave Lancaster Bible a 4-1 lead. Penn St. York got two runs back in the bottom half of the inning as James Guiseppe hit a two-run homer.

After the Chargers were held scoreless in their half of the ninth, the Nittany Lions put a runner on with one out in the bottom of the ninth. Junior Mitch Kumher, who had come in to relieve Mayer after the fifth, got Mark Fagnani to hit into the game-ending 6-4-3 double play as Justin Taylor, Ryan Hartline and Kody Godsey turned a perfect double play to clinch the victory for Lancaster Bible.

Long finished the day, 3-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI, while Micah McClay, Erich Carroll, Taylor and Hartline each had two hits. A day after Bisch recorded his first collegiate hit, he did it for the second straight game as he was 1-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI.

Mayer earned his first collegiate victory as he went five innings and allowed just two hits, while striking out four and walking four. The run charged to him was unearned, as were the two that Kumher gave up. Kumher went four innings and allowed just two hits as well, while striking out three.

Lancaster Bible (3-6) returns to the diamond on Tuesday when they head to Langhorne, Pa. to face Cairn. Game one of the doubleheader is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.
