On Feb. 25 the University of Mary Washington baseball team defeated Eastern Mennonite University in a final score of 13–11, improving the Eagles’ season record to 1–2. This win comes after the team’s first four games were canceled due to inclement weather.
After falling short in both games of a doubleheader against John Carroll University, the Eagles started the game strong, scoring eight runs in three innings. Following a five-run inning at the top seventh, the game would have been tied going into the ninth at 11-11, except Eastern Mennonite pitcher Jackson Hull hit two Mary Washington players, affording the Eagles’ winning unearned runs.
Mary Washington played eight pitchers on the day, giving a good rotation to secure the win. Sophomore business administration major Sean Smith had three hits leading to three RBIs and a run, earning UMW four of its 13 points.
The Eagles’ next game is a doubleheader against Southern Virginia University on Saturday, Feb. 28, at home.
