Elizabethtown advanced to the Commonwealth Conference baseball finals with a 4-3 victory over Widener at Owls Field. The Blue Jays will face Messiah, which moved to the championship round with a 15-4 win against Elizabethtown on Friday afternoon. Elizabethtown must defeat the Falcons twice on Saturday to earn their third consecutive league championship. In the win over Widener, the Blue Jays (25-11 overall) won despite managing just three hits in the contest, and none after the third inning. Adam Hartzell was equally strong on the mound for Elizabethtown, taking a one-hitter into the eighth inning to earn the victory. Widener, which was shut out by Elizabethtown 4-0 in the tournament opener on Thursday, scored in the first inning without a hit as Tom DeAngelis walked, stole second, and scored on a fielder's choice.

Senior Frank Albano pitched a complete game and struck out seven while Jason Monforte drove in two runs as the Manhattanville baseball team defeated Delaware Valley 5-2 in the opening round of the Freedom Conference tournament Friday at Quakertown Memorial Park. Aside from allowing two unearned runs, Albano only allowed one extra base hit and runners advanced past second base twice.

The Patriots responded with back-to-back solo homers before Matt Aubry settled down for the Tornados to pick up his seventh save of the season. Concordia-Texas will take on McMurry. Stephen Derrick and Weston Franco put a charge into McMurry's offense with back-to-back home runs in the fourth inning and the home team went on to defeat Mississippi 10-2 in rhe second game. "You always need to start off the game with one big hit to get on the board," Derrick said of the three-run home run. "I was looking for something to elevate and fortunately I got a lot of it. Then with Weston's right behind me, it picked up the emotion even more."
