Schuylkill Splits at DIII Harrisburg, Enters PSUAC Tournament as Top Seed

Game 1: Harrisburg 8, Schuylkill 1
Despite solid contact at the plate, Schuylkill struggled to keep pace with a red-hot Harrisburg offense in the opener. The Lions tallied six hits but were held to a single run, an RBI single from Keira Devor in the third inning. Harrisburg struck early with a four-run first and added insurance in the sixth to seal the 8-1 win. Megan Marks went the distance in the circle but was tagged for 12 hits and eight runs (six earned).

Highlights:

• Keira Devor: 2-for-3, RBI double

• Mackenzie Carl: 2-for-4

• Megan Marks: 6.0 IP, 116 pitches, 4 strikeouts

Game 2: Schuylkill 3, Harrisburg 2
Schuylkill bounced back in a gritty nightcap to earn a signature win over the Division III Lions. A patient and opportunistic second inning saw Schuylkill plate three runs, capitalizing on an RBI walk by Cealinn McGroarty and a two-run error. From there, Emma Crisswell was lights out—tossing a complete game with 11 strikeouts and stranding multiple Harrisburg runners late. The Lions' defense played clean behind her to preserve the 3-2 victory.

Highlights:

• Emma Crisswell: 7.0 IP, 7 H, 2 ER, 11 K (Win, 13-7)

• Megan Marks: 3-for-3, R

• Alyssa Youst: 1 R, 1 BB

• Cealinn McGroarty: RBI, 2 BB
