LIONS IN TRENTON ON TUESDAY
The Lions play No. 9 Arcadia on Tuesday night at Trenton Thunder Ballpark in a special non-conference game. TCNJ is planning to turn the ballpark into a home game for the Lions, complete with the TCNJ Dance Team, pre-game ceremonies, a color guard, and in-game contests.

TCNJ Vice President of Student Affairs Sean Stallings will throw a ceremonial first pitch, and the Princeton ROTC at TCNJ will provide the colors for the national anthem. That will be performed by ROTC member Gabby Bobo.
 
AMON WINS NJAC WEEKLY AWARD
TCNJ junior starting pitcher Ben Amon was named NJAC Pitcher of the Week, announced on Monday by the conference.
 
Amon was very strong in an important victory over No. 14 Kean on Saturday. In earning the win, Amon threw seven innings, allowing just one run on five hits while striking out eight batters. He also only walked one.
 
Amon has a 2.68 ERA with a 1.13 WHIP, and he leads the team with 43 strikeouts.
 
FINAL WEEK OF THE SEASON
After the Lions play No. 9 Arcadia on Tuesday, TCNJ will finish the season fighting for a playoff spot in the NJAC Tournament. The Lions will face Rutgers-Camden and Ramapo this weekend as the top six teams in the NJAC qualify for the conference tournament.
 
LIONS SPLIT WITH NO. 14 KEAN
The TCNJ baseball team honored its six seniors to start off Saturday's doubleheader against the 14th-ranked Kean Cougars. Both games featured solid starting pitching and slick defense as the teams split the doubleheader. TCNJ won game one, 2-1, before Kean took the second game.
 
In the game one win, TCNJ got on the board in the bottom of the second. Andrew Fernandez singled to left center and advanced to second base on Michael Schumacher's single through the left side. After advancing on a wild pitch, Mike Lagravenis reached on an infield single to the right side after a thirteen pitch at bat to score Fernandez. That made the score 1-0. Lagravenis fouled off 10 consecutive pitches in that at-bat.
 
The Lions held off Kean in the top of the third with a three-up, three-down inning. In the bottom of the third, Ryan Goodall doubled to left field and scored off a single from Joe Oczkowski.
 
Kean attempted to make a comeback in the top of the ninth but were cut short after a double play from Lagravenis to Chris Cote to Oczkowski cleared the traffic on the bases. Reliever Chris Cassini in then closed the game with a strikeout.
