Game 1 Recap:
Penn State Schuylkill rallied from an early deficit to top Bucks County 5-2 in the opener. After falling behind 2-0, the Lions responded with a three-run third inning fueled by Brenan Adams' clutch 2-RBI double. Aidan Barner held down the Bucks with a gritty 106-pitch start, and Conner Licklider slammed the door with three dominant innings of relief, striking out five. Schuylkill capitalized on seven stolen bases and defensive miscues to seal the win.
