Despite the out, the Hoyas were able to score a run with a wild pitch that plated Lentz.

In the fourth, Rand Ravnaas evened the score at 2-2 with his first home run wearing the Blue & Gray, a solo shot to left field

The Hoyas loaded the bases in the seventh, but were already trailing 10-2. Lentz and Lamont reached base with consecutive singles and Sean Baumann drew a walk. Dan Capeless brought his RBI total on the season to five with a two-run single to left.

Alex Meyer (0-2) took the loss for GU, allowing five earned runs in four 1/3 innings. Will Harris threw a perfect two innings of relief and Bobby Kirby shutout the Quakers during his inning of duty.
