NAVY BASEBALL: The Mids earned an important doubleheader split with Bucknell on Saturday before a national television audience as CBS Sports Network broadcast the contests at Terwilliger Brothers Field at Max Bishop Stadium. With Patriot League postseason implications abound, the Mids (34-14, 14-4 PL) lost in game one, 5-0 to the Bison (19-24, 10-8 PL) before coming back in the second contest and winning in 10 innings, 5-4.
Coming into the day with a magic number of three to clinch the regular season title and No. 1 seed for the upcoming Patriot League postseason tournament, the Mids succumbed to the Bison's game one starting pitcher Connor Van Hoose, who tossed a complete game three-hit shutout.
