LATHAM, N.Y. - Thanks to his efforts in a thrilling win at Shenandoah on Wednesday, Penn State Harrisburg baseball player Josh Berzonski has been named the United East Volt Division Pitcher of the Week for the third time this season.

 

Berzonski entered in the fifth inning of the team's thrilling 3-1 victory over an SU squad receiving votes in both national polls and threw five scoreless innings to record his fourth win of the spring, striking out six batters during his relief appearance and working out of a bases-loaded jam in the eighth to keep the game tied before Kevin Lehner gave the Lions a lead they would not relinquish thanks to his two-run home run in the top of the ninth. 

 

Winners of 12 in a row, No. 19/22 Penn State Harrisburg (31-7) finished the regular season undefeated in conference play and earned the top seed, along with hosting duties, in the upcoming United East Volt Division Tournament. The Lions face No. 4 seed St. Mary's (Md.) in the tournament opener on Friday afternoon.
