BETHLEHEM, Pa. --- Moravian University is continuing to look back at its 2023-24 athletic campaign. The next contest in the Top 10 Exciting Games from the past year is our No. 4 highlight – the baseball squad rallying from a 6-0 deficit to defeat The Catholic University of America, 8-6, in the opening game of a series.

The game was played on Saturday, April 20, 2024 as the opening game of a Landmark Conference series at Gillespie Field. The Cardinals scored four runs in the top of the first inning and twice more in the top of the fourth to take the 6-0 lead.
