In defeat, NJCU's George Jessen lowered his ERA to 1.54 on the season.
Comeback victories are starting to become old hat for Lebanon Valley (6-13, 2-5 MAC-C). For an amazing fourth game in a row, the Flying Dutchmen came from behind to win on their last at-bat, defeating Widener (17-6, 6-3) 12-11 in 10 innings in a MAC Commonwealth tilt at a bitter-cold, blustery McGill Park on Thursday afternoon.
Sophomore Brandon Thompson belted a 2-2 pitch through the left side, just beyond the reach of diving third baseman Tom Connelly to score classmate Brandon Stoothoff from third, ending a game that lasted nearly four hours. The win allowed Lebanon Valley to finish 4-0 on four straight walk-off wins during its four-game homestand.
Junior Chris Schank enjoyed a perfect day at the plate for the Valley, going 4-for-4. Thompson went 3-for-7 with two runs and three RBIs. In addition to his game-winning hit, he also had a big two-run double during a five-run Dutchman ninth. Freshman reliever Josh Muscalus earned the win for the Valley, throwing the final six innings to earn his first collegiate victory. Matt Fischer finished 4-for-6 with three doubles, a home run, and three RBIs for Widener.
In other action: Junior righthander Colin Feneis moved from the bullpen into a starting role flawlessly as Kean downed Rutgers-Newark, 10-3, in New Jersey Athletic Conference action at Bears & Eagles Riverfront Stadium. The Cougars (14-3, NJAC 3-1) collected 16 hits against four Scarlet Raider pitchers in support of Feneis, who had made four relief appearances this spring, totaling five and a third innings of work. Rutgers-Newark slipped to 5-17 overall and 2-3 in the NJAC.
No. 10 Wheaton (Mass.) saw its winning streaks of eight games overall and 20 at home come to an end in 11 innings Thursday afternoon, as the Lyons dropped a 4-3 decision to WPI in NEWMAC action at Sidell Stadium.

Winners in six of its last eight games, WPI improves to 10-11 on the season while moving past the Lyons in the regular season standings at 4-1.

Washington University defeated Westminster (Mo.) 5-0 on Thursday, giving WU head coach Ric Lessmann his 1,300th career win.
