Brendan Sherman-Johnson (Baltimore, Md./Baltimore Polytech HS) held regionally ranked Lock Haven University to just three runs and six hits over five innings of work, putting the Lincoln University baseball team in a position to pull off a possible upset but the Lions bats were silenced by the Bald Eagle pitchers as the Lions managed just one hit in a 7-0 opening game loss to the Bald Eagles.
Lincoln also dropped the second game 9-1 to give Lock Haven (#5 in most recent NCBWA Atlantic Region poll) the sweep. The Bald Eagles improve to 25-9 while the Lions have their losing streak extended to 21 games and drop to 5-30 on the season. The 21-game losing streak is currently the longest active streak in NCAA Division II.
Two of the three runs given up by Sherman-Johnson were earned. He also struck out four while walking three batters. He falls to 0-3 on the season Luis Nieves (Staten Island, N.Y./LaSalle Academy) pitched the final two innings, giving up four runs in the seventh on four hits after tossing a perfect sixth inning.
