Franklin (22-7) swatted three home runs and held the Big Red (23-7) to just four hits on a beautiful evening at Wright State's Nischwitz Field.

TCNJ won on a walk-off sacrifice fly for the second game in a row on Thursday night against Stockton. A Mike LaGravenis fly ball to center field in the bottom of the tenth scored Sebastian JnoBaptiste to win in extra innings by a score of 5-4. In the top of the eighth, the Ospreys erased the runs scored by TCNJ in the seventh with two of their own on a single up the middle with runners on second and third to pull within one. After holding the Lions scoreless in the home half of the eighth, Stockton found the equalizer in the top of the ninth. The run once again came on a single up the middle to knot the game at four runs apiece. The Osprey bullpen showed up big once again in the ninth, retiring the Lions in order. Michael Silver took over pitching duties in the top half in the tenth and did exactly what his jobbed asked for, to put up a zero. He struck out two, allowed not hits and walked one batter in the tenth. In the home half, JnoBaptiste got things started for the Lions with a walk which Zach Weiner followed up with a single to left field. After JnoBaptiste advanced to third on a passed ball and Weiner stole second, LaGravenis sent out the walk-off fly ball to center field to capture the 5-4 victory.

A lead after two pitches, a dominant start and timely hitting helped Albion earn a 7-4 win over Hope. The win snaps a 11-game losing streak against the Flying Dutchmen, dating back to 2019. Freshman Cole Giesige (3-3) followed up a record breaking performance with another incredible outing.

Senior Bryan McGrath had his second walk-off hit in the last three games and Plymouth State erased a 9-1 deficit to outlast Colby-Sawyer in ten innings, 11-10, in a non-conference game at Parish Field on Thursday afternoon. The Chargers held a 9-1 lead with two outs in the bottom of the seventh, but junior Luke Sokolski started the comeback bid with a two-run double to spark a five-run outburst. Colby-Sawyer scored a run in the top of the eighth, but Sokolski and sophomore Owen Baum had RIB singles in the bottom half to pull within 10-8. Colby-Sawyer committed a costly error to start the ninth and pinch hitter Joshua Welsh made it a one-run game with a single. With two away, junior Jackson Curtis ripped a game-tying double to right centerfield to send the game to the tenth inning. The visitors looked poised to go back in front with runners on second and third and just one out, but McGrath fielded a one-hopper to third and got the lead out at home and a strikeout ended the threat. Baum kicked off the bottom of the inning with a single. With two outs he stole second and lofted a deep flyball to the left centerfield gap just beyond the glove of the Chargers' diving centerfielder to bring in the winning run. Plymouth State improves to 8-14, while Colby-Sawyer goes to 6-21.

The Lesley Lynx took care of business on the road against the Fighting Scots of Gordon, 5-1, to move to 11-17 this season on Thursday. The game was tied until the fourth inning, where a bases loaded walk by Colby Jacobs pushed across Jake Samela for the first run. After a double play scored James Brandon, a Boone Scherer single scored Jacobs from second to make the score 3-0. Another Scherer knock in the sixth scored Trevor Faison to make the score 4-0. In the ninth innning, Adam Budorick would drive home Dylan McDonald to make the score 5-0.

Geneva got back into the win column with a doubleheader sweep at Medaille on Thursday afternoon. The Golden Tornadoes won two very different games, taking a high-scoring affair in game one, 11-8, and then winning a pitcher's duel in game two, 3-1. The wins improve Geneva's overall record to 14-19. Freshman Ethan Blair got the start in game one, and Medaille jumped on him early with two runs in the first and two more runs in the second to put Geneva in an early 4-0 hole. The Golden Tornadoes got their offense going in the top of the fourth to take a mid-game lead. Medaille scored three runs and had the bases loaded with one out when sophomore Jeff Hawkins relieved Blair and got a key double-play grounder to get Geneva out of the inning clinging to an 8-7 lead. Geneva managed just six hits in the game but took advantage of 12 walks issued by Medaille pitchers. Blair earned the win, while Hawkins picked up the save. Game two was a much different affair, as both starting pitchers controlled the contest. Medaille's starter Austin Goring retired the first 13 Golden Tornadoes he saw, while Geneva's starting pitcher, freshman Kirk Bearjar, was almost as good, retiring 11 of the first 12 batters he faced. The Golden Tornadoes broke through in the sixth, scoring all the support Bearjar needed. Bearjar needed just 74 pitches to get through all seven innings, a very efficient effort from the freshman making just his third appearance on the mound this season, and his first start. He gave up just four hits and one run, while striking out five.

A quiet afternoon on the road for UMass Boston quickly turned raucous as the Beacons overcame a 3-0 deficit in the latter stages of the game, using eight runs on seven hits in the seventh inning to propel themselves past Nichols, 8-4, on Thursday afternoon to kick off their four-game road trip. The Bison tacked on two runs on solo homes run by Karl Miller and Johnny Knox while a delayed steal in the sixth inning saw junior catcher Ben Jerome get thrown out at second, but sophomore outfielder Stanley Cipkas come across for the third run of the afternoon for the Bison. UMass Boston's bats would finally come to life in the seventh inning as the first three batters would reach base for the Beacons, starting their rally that would see them take a 8-3 lead headinf into the bottom of the seventh. Nichols would get a run back against senior pitcher Ethan Errera in the bottom of the seventh on an RBI single by senior Brad Ellis, but the bullpen arms of junior pitcher Jackson Snider and senior pitcher Thomas Kierce would both work one scoreless frame apiece while combining for three total strikeouts, securing the 7-4 comeback victory for the Beacons.
