BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Lehigh entered Saturday needing just one win to claim its third consecutive Patriot League championship, but Army had other ideas. Army pitcher Morgan Lashley threw a pair of shutouts as the Black Knights stunned the Mountain Hawks 4-0 and 5-0 at Kaufman Field to claim their first title since 2002.
 
Army tallied nine runs on 21 hits in the two games while Lashley limited Lehigh to one hit in Saturday’s first game and just two in the second. The Black Knights improve to 35-24 as they win their fifth tournament title and will advance to the NCAA Regional tournament for the third time.
