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.
