Williamson Free School of Mechanical Trades Baseball

With a line-up that included an entirely new singles line-up from a year ago, a young Williamson tennis team took on Penn State Brandywine on the road Wednesday afternoon. Despite their inexperience and a to be expected slow start, the Mechanics put forth a solid showing in a losing effort before falling to the Lions, 6-3.

With Williamson and Sussex County College knotted at 6-6 heading into the fourth quarter, and the Skylanders gaining momentum, the Mechanics needed someone to step up in the fourth quarter if they were going to pull out a victory.  Matt Dickinson (FR/Springfield, PA) did just that, scoring four straight goals in less than eight minutes to lead Williamson to a hard-fought 10-7 home victory Sunday afternoon.

Team scores 14 first quarter goals and never looks back in 18-1 win

The win moves Williamson above .500 for the first time all year, as they move to 5-4 on the year.  They next host Sussex County College on Sunday afternoon.

It came down to the last play, but Williamson was on the wrong end of an 11-10 defeat to Christendom College on Saturday.  The game was tied at ten with Christendom College batting in the bottom of the eighth when Stephen Gualtieri (JR/Aston, PA) induced Skoba to hit into a fielder's choice, but the winning run wa able to score to the Crusaders and doublehader sweep.  

After coming close to pulling off a huge upset Friday night, the Williamson lacrosse team got right back to winning, as they downed host Rowan University in an NCLL Liberty division game by a score of 11-6.

Down three starters due to a horticulture competition in Mississippi, including their second leading scorer, an undermanned Williamson lacrosse team refused to be intimidated against NJCAA power Hudson Valley Community College (NY).  In fact, after falling behind early, the Mechanics actually went out in front.  While Hudson Valley would regain the lead, Williamson found themselves down by just two goals with under six minutes to play before eventually falling to the Vikings, 11-8

Andrew Williams (SR/Philadelphia, PA) had quite a game for Williamson in the second game of their doubleheader against Penn State Scranton on Wednesday afternoon.  After giving starting the game on the mound for Williamson and keeping the team in the game early on, it was his bat that did the damage late in the game, including his game winning walk-off double that gave Williamson a dramatic come-from-behind win, 12-11, over Penn State Scranton to lead his team to the win and give Williamson to split.

Things started off well for the Williamson baseball team, as they opened their 2023 baseball season at home in game one of a doubleheader with Penn State Scranton.  Joe Kelly (JR/Newtown Square, PA) blasted a three run first inning home run to help propel them to an early 9-4 lead.  Unfortunately for Williamson, things did not end as well as they started, as the Lions rallied to take game one of the doubleheader, 16-14.

Taking on the #1 seeded wrestler, Cole Nance from Bellarmine University at 165 lbs. in the national championship match, Talon was an underdog, but that didn't stop him from grabbing an early 2-0 in the first period.  Nance was able to tie things up at 2-2 at the end of the period and then gained a point on an escape to go up 3-2.  He then took Talon down in a way where he was able to work his way to a second period pin of Talon and gain the national championship.
