Lehigh sets Division I record with 20 runs in first inning of 38-6 victory over Coppin State

BALTIMORE (AP) — Lehigh set an NCAA Division I record by scoring 20 runs in the first inning of a 38-6 victory over Coppin State on Tuesday night.

The Mountain Hawks broke the first-inning record of 18 runs set by Princeton and matched by Air Force, both in 1974. Lehigh’s 38 total runs were a Patriot League record and the most in a game between Division I teams since New Mexico State beat Texas Southern 38-6 in 2019.

Of Lehigh’s 20 first-inning runs, 13 were scored consecutively on bases-loaded walks, hit by pitches or wild pitches. Owen Walewander’s grand slam accounted for the final runs in the inning. Lehigh sent 23 men to the plate, three shy of the record for an inning.

Lehigh’s Aidan Quinn was walked seven times, also a Division I record.

Rodman, Wilson and Swanson are together again for USWNT matches against Brazil

When Mallory Swanson and Sophia Wilson lamented that they were missing their infant daughters while preparing for the United States' upcoming matches in Brazil, Trinity Rodman playfully leaned across their laps. “I'll be your guys' baby!” Rodman exclaimed with a laugh. The trio hasn't played together since winning the gold medal at the 2024 Olympics but they were named to the squad for matches against Brazil on Saturday in Sao Paulo and Tuesday in Fortaleza. Swanson was included on the U.S. roster for the first time since October 2024 after taking time off for the birth of her daughter in November. Wilson returned to the team in April after she took maternity leave last year for her daughter's birth in September.
