The second seeded Bobcats, just a day removed from setting the school record for wins, advanced to the AMCC Tournament Championship game for the third-straight year.
FSU (28-14) will play No. 5 Medaille (21-19) on Sunday morning at 10:00 am with the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament on the line. Frostburg State split the regular-season series with the Mavericks, losing 5-4 and winning 12-2 in five innings.
In a classic pitcher's duel, the Bobcats needed just that lone run in the top of the seventh for the win. Sophomore

Sophomore starter
Megan Magee (Egg Harbor City, N.J./Holy Spirit) closed the door on the Mounties (26-12) in the bottom of the seventh for her 17th win of the season. She scattered five hits, struckout eight and did not allow a MTA runner past second base. Carrie Shevock endured the loss for Mt. Aloysius. She allowed just six hits and struckout three batters.
At the plate, juniors
