Philadephia, PA -- La Salle honored its eight members of the baseball Class of 2026 prior to Sunday's series finale against Saint Joseph's, an eventual 12-2 loss in seven innings.
Isaac Kopalchick,
Luke Matta,
Chase Swain,
Alec Welshans,
Daniel Perez,
Owen MacDonnell,
Josh Beck, and
Justin Szestowicki were celebrated during the pregame ceremony.
Saint Joseph's jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first, but La Salle responded in the bottom when
Carter Groen hit a sacrifice fly to cut the deficit in half. The RBI was Groen's Atlantic 10 Conference-leading 60th of the season.
The Hawks, who now lead the A-10 by five games, would go on to score the game's next 10 runs which eventually enacted the seven inning run rule.
With a base hit on Sunday, Swain maintained his team-best .364 batting average and .480 on base percentage. By game's end, Swain is fifth in the A-10 in on base and fourth in average.
La Salle's season-long eight game homestand concludes on Tuesday as the Explorers host UMBC for a 3:00 start.
