Philly Leader

The University of Pennsylvania baseball team is set to face Lehigh in a midweek matchup at J. David Walker Field in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The game, scheduled for 3 p.m., marks the final contest before Penn begins Ivy League play this weekend.

Penn enters the game after a successful series against Lafayette, where they achieved their first three-game sweep of the season. The Quakers have an overall record of 4-9 and are seeking their eighth consecutive victory over Lehigh, a streak that dates back to 2013.

The historical rivalry between Penn and Lehigh will see its 123rd installment. Penn leads the all-time series with an 86-32-4 record and aims for its fifth straight win over Lehigh in Bethlehem.

Last year’s encounter saw Penn secure a narrow 12-11 victory at Tommy Lasorda Field, with Davis Baker hitting a decisive solo home run in the eighth inning.

Lehigh comes into this matchup with a strong start to their season, holding a 10-6 record and winning six out of eight games at home. They recently took three out of four games against UAlbany and scored an impressive 25 runs against Coppin State earlier this week.

Aidan Quinn has been pivotal for Lehigh's offense, earning Patriot League Player of the Week honors after batting .417 with multiple extra-base hits over several games.
