Bethesda, MD-- The Georgetown University baseball team lost to Navy 8-3 Wednesday evening, April 27 at Shirley Povich field. The Hoyas fall to 21-23, while Navy improves to 12-28-1.

James Lee then brought in Lukevics to make the score 2-0. Lewis Hobbs grounded to second, and brought in Doug Silverman who had singled to right center, moving Lukevics around to third.
