READING, PA- The Penn St. Berks Baseball team took down Albright College, defeating the Lions by a score of 5-4 on Thursday, Apr. 25.  

The Lions scored first, plating a run in the bottom of the second inning. Zach Smith led off the inning by driving a single up the middle. Griffin Kay blasted a double into right field driving in a run.  

Berks added more runs in the fourth inning. Colin Amerine started the rally by drawing a walk and then Kay and Bryce Kelly rattled off back-to-back singles to load the bases. Kolbie Reeser took advantage of the situation, rocketing a single into center field that allowed two runs to score. Colin Templin perfectly placed a double down the left-field line, plating two more runs to allow Berks to build a 5-0 lead.

Ashvin Premkumar came on in relief, pitching the final 2.1 innings, allowing one run on one hit to secure the save.
