Lewisburg baseball wins four straight, averages 9.3 runs per game

Lewisburg’s offense kept coming in waves Monday, and a five-run fourth inning broke open an 8-5 win over Central Columbia to send the Green Dragons to four straight victories.

That stretch gave Lewisburg a needed lift in Heartland II/Class AAAA, where the Green Dragons improved to 9-8 after beating the Bluejays on May 4, 2026. The run also showed this was not a one-game spike. Lewisburg had already edged Mifflinburg 8-7 on May 2, rolled past Muncy 7-1 on April 30, and outlasted Milton 14-10 before turning back Central Columbia again.

Over those four games, Lewisburg averaged 9.3 runs per contest, a pace that explains how the Green Dragons kept putting opponents under pressure. Early scoring changed the tone of games, and the fourth-inning burst against Central Columbia fit the same pattern: Lewisburg seized control before the Bluejays could settle in.

The timing mattered, too. Central Columbia entered the game at 6-7 overall and 5-5 in conference play and had lost three in a row before falling to 6-8. Lewisburg had already beaten the Bluejays 3-2 on April 11, so Monday’s result was not a fluke against a familiar District IV opponent. It was a second win over a team still carrying a solid conference résumé into the final stretch.

For Lewisburg, the surge came after seasons that had tested the program’s patience. MaxPreps lists the Green Dragons at 0-20 in 2023-24 and 8-11-1 in 2024-25, making even a short winning streak feel significant for a team trying to build a stronger baseline. The difference this spring has been a lineup that is producing runs in bunches and a team that looks more settled in key moments.

The roster behind the run includes Joel Gessner, Cole Grozier, Fynn Oberdorf, Landon Michaels and Kody Strawser, names that have helped carry Lewisburg through a late-season push. In a small baseball community where Lewisburg Area School District athletics draws close attention, the Green Dragons’ four-game streak has become more than a hot week. It has given Union County a team that looks like it may be finding its form just as the season tightens.
