GANNON WINS OPENING GAME OF
GLIAC DOUBLEHEADER
 
MIDLAND, Mich. – After a postponement and delay due to inclement weather, the Gannon University baseball team finally got the chance to square off against Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) foe Northwood University (14-13, 2-10) at Gerace Stadium Sunday.
   
The Golden Knights split the afternoon twinbill. Gannon picked up a win with a 7-1 victory in game one and dropped game two 16-2.
   
Gannon (6-18, 2-10) allowed one run in the sixth after holding a 2-0 lead through game one’s first five innings.
   
The Golden Knights put the lead out of reach in the seventh with five runs scored.
   
Eric Harpster (Erie, Pa./McDowell), who went 3 for 3 with two runs and three RBIs, hit a two-run RBI single to score Drew Rojek (Lake View, N.Y./Frontier) and Ryan Tann (Fairview, Pa./Cathedral Prep), while advancing to second on an error by Northwood left fielder Matt Czajkowski.
   
Harpster and Ford Eisenman (Erie, Pa./Villa Maria Academy) scored on Gannon’s second two-run RBI single of the inning, courtesy of Greg Radwan (Farnham, N.Y./St. Francis).
   
Gannon’s final run of the game came on a first-and-third play. Kolten Hoffman (West Middlesex, Pa./West Middlesex) stole home as Radwan stole second.
   
Nick Lisckai (Paris, Ontario/Paris District) recorded the win after 5 2/3 innings on the mound for the Golden Knights. Lisckai (1-5) gave up three hits, one run, and one walk and struck out two batters.
  
Rojek earned the save. The redshirt-sophomore made one strikeout and walked one batter in 1 1/3 innings.
   
The Golden Knights play a second doubleheader against Northwood on Monday, April 14 at noon.
