Softball Outlasts Lehigh for Series Win in 4-3 Thriller

LEWISBURG, Pa.- With realistic tournament hopes hanging in the balance on an overcast and blustery Sunday afternoon at Becker Field, Bucknell Softball emulated its first-year head coach's grit and found a way past the specter of Lehigh for the 4-3 win and the first series win over the Mountain Hawks since 2019. Bucknell (8-30-1, 5-7 Patriot League) used a combination of timely hitting and a complete game effort from a grinding rookie pitcher to down Lehigh (23-23, 4-11 Patriot League), who is in extreme danger of missing the Patriot League Tournament for the first time in program history.
