LANDMARK IN NCAAs
For the first time in Landmark Conference history, three teams—Scranton, Elizabethtown, and Catholic—earned bids to the NCAA Tournament. The Royals secured the league's automatic qualifier, while Etown and Catholic received at-large selections.
Wilkes University
Under the direction of head coach Mike Guy, Wilkes University has put together one of its most successful seasons in recent memory. The Colonels finished with a 28-10 overall record and went 19-5 in Landmark Conference play to claim the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament for the first time since 1994. The team has found a strong balance between offense and pitching, positioning itself as a legitimate contender heading into the postseason.
Offensively, Luke Spencer has been a consistent force in the middle of the lineup. He enters the tournament ranked second in the Landmark with 43 RBIs and carries a .346 batting average with 34 hits. His ability to drive in runs has been a key component of the Colonels' success throughout the spring.
On the mound, AJ Levandowski has emerged as one of the top arms in the conference. The right-hander owns a 3.02 ERA—third-best in the Landmark—and ranks third in strikeouts with 57.
Wilkes will begin its postseason run on Friday, May 9, when it takes on Catholic University at 2:30 p.m. The Colonels will be looking to ride their regular-season momentum as they chase their first Landmark title.
Elizabethtown College
Elizabethtown enters the Landmark Conference tournament as the No. 2 seed, narrowly edged out by Wilkes for the top spot via the head-to-head tiebreaker. The two teams split their regular season series 2-1 in favor of Wilkes. Still, the Blue Jays carry plenty of momentum into the postseason, riding a five-game winning streak to close the regular season with a 27-11 overall record and a 19-5 mark in conference play.
Etown is looking to reclaim the Landmark crown after winning the title in 2022. Leading the way at the plate is David Woolley, who’s putting together an impressive season with a .391 batting average—third-best in the conference—along with a 1.052 OPS and 45 hits. On the mound, AJ Lipscomb has been dominant, posting a league-best 1.17 ERA, leading the league, to go along with 41 strikeouts.
The Blue Jays open tournament play on Friday at 11:00 a.m. against third-seeded Scranton in a rematch of last year’s conference championship.
The University of Scranton
Scranton enters the Landmark Conference tournament as the No. 3 seed after finishing the regular season with a 20-18 overall record and a 15-9 mark in league play. The defending champions are aiming to capture back-to-back titles and their third Landmark crown overall.
At the plate, the Royals are led by John Heitzman, who’s been one of the top run producers in the conference. He leads the Landmark with 46 RBIs, while hitting .345 with 51 hits on the year. Jake Elston adds another dangerous bat to the lineup, batting .331 with 45 runs scored and 43 hits. Both have played key roles in keeping Scranton competitive throughout the season.
