WINTER HAVEN, Fla. - Grace's baseball team opened up its spring break trip to Florida over the weekend.

The Lancers won the first game on Friday versus Judson before falling to Robert Morris on Saturday.

Friday began Grace's trip to the Sunshine State, and the Lancers won in dramatic fashion.

Houston Haney starred from the mound as Grace beat Judson 3-2 in 11 innings. Haney was dynamic, striking out 12 batters in nine innings, allowing two runs and one walk in a stellar performance.

Judson started ahead, scoring in the second inning with a two-out RBI.

Grace responded with a two-out run of its own in the fifth. Chris Griffin walked with two outs, and he reached third base with a stolen base and a balk.

Jeff Pawlik then drove in Griffin with a single to the outfield.

The score remained 1-1 until the ninth inning. Griffin scored again with two outs — this time with a solo homer to put the Lancers up 2-1.

Grace was unable to secure the win in the bottom of the ninth, however, as the Eagles rallied to tie the game and force extra innings.

Xavier Harris came in to pitch the extra frames, and he kept Judson off the scoreboard in the 10th. Griffin drove in the go-ahead run in the top of the 11th, singling with two outs to score Ethan Brooks.

Harris took care of the rest, striking out the final batter to preserve the victory. Harris had two strikeouts and three walks in two innings of relief to earn the win from the mound.

Griffin hit 2 for 5 with 2 runs, 2 RBIs and 1 stolen base, and Alex Rich was 2-for-4. David Anderson finished 2 for 5.

Saturday's game saw a combined 21 runs and 27 hits, but Grace was on the short end of a 12-9 defeat to Robert Morris.

The Lancers actually led 2-0 after four innings were complete. Rich had a two-out RBI single in the third inning, and Harris plated in the fourth.

But the Eagles took control starting in the fifth inning, scoring 12 runs over the next four innings.

Grace tried to keep pace, using a two-run double from Brooks in the sixth, a two-run single from Anderson in the seventh, and a two-run double from Pawlik in the eighth.

But Grace was unable to bridge the gap in the ninth and had to settle for the loss.

Griffin went 3 for 4 with two runs and a stolen base, and Harris batted 3 for 4 with two runs. Anderson finished 3 for 4 with two RBIs and a steal, and Pawlik had 1 hit, 2 runs and 2 RBIs.

Nick Stoltzfus was Grace's most efficient pitcher, tossing two clean innings of relief with two strikeouts.

The Lancers' trip continues on Monday with a matchup with Trinity Christian.
