Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 The Lancaster Bible baseball team split a North Eastern Athletic Conference doubleheader with SUNYIT on Saturday as the Chargers snapped their six-game losing streak by winning game one, 7-4, but couldn't complete the sweep and lost 7-1 in game two. Over the past three days, the Chargers went 1-4 and with five NEAC games remaining are on the brink of elimination from playoff contention. Lancaster Bible's NEAC record stands at 3-10 and the top four teams make the playoffs. SUNYIT is currently 7-4 and in fourth place. The Wildcats need one more victory to knock the Chargers from playoff contention.

On Saturday, Lancaster Bible's game one starter Nate Burns had one of his best outings of the season as he pitched 6 2/3 innings for his first win of the season. Burns maneuvered around trouble most of the day, but was able to help the Chargers snap their losing streak. Seniors Micah McClay and Matt Taliercio and freshman Jimmy Eagan each had two hits to pace the Chargers' offense. Taliercio and Eagan also knocked in two runs, while Caleb Mayer and Justin Taylor scored two runs apiece. 

In game two, the Lancaster Bible offense disappeared for the third time in five games as the Chargers managed just three hits over seven innings. Erich Carroll, Taylor and Taliercio had Lancaster Bible's hits, while Taylor scored the lone run. As a team, the Chargers struck out nine times as they dropped to 8-16 overall this season. 

Lancaster Bible will take a break from NEAC play on Tuesday as they have the very special opportunity to face the Lancaster Barnstormers on Tuesday at Clipper Magazine Stadium in downtown Lancaster. The Barnstormers play in the Atlantic League and are one of eight independent teams that make up the league. Tuesday's exhibition game will begin at 2 p.m. and is free to the public. As part of the experience, the Chargers will honor their five seniors prior to the game.
