Lancaster, PA – The Somerset Patriots (11-0) completed their third straight sweep to start the season as they outlasted the Lancaster Barnstormers (5-6) 11-8 Sunday afternoon at Clipper Magazine Stadium. The Patriots fought for their 11th straight win to extend a league record for most wins to start a season. The offense generated a season-high in runs and hits (19) as the Patriots tallied their fifth come from behind win of the season. Somerset trailed 6-4 after four innings but scored seven of the game’s final nine runs.
“Guys have been swinging the bat well, but sometimes in baseball, balls are hit hard and lined at someone,” said first year hitting coach Glen Barker. “But everything seemed to be dropping today. As long as good approaches are taken I know good results will show.”
