ROCKVILLE, Md. – Carter Bosch and Anthony Redfern shut down the VMI lineup with a combined 10 strikeouts in the Georgetown University baseball team's 6-2 win over the Keydets on Friday evening. The Hoyas moved to 13-8 on the year while VMI dropped to 8-13.

"Tonight was fun to see Bosch go out there on a Friday and dominate a really good team. He worked through some very difficult situations behind him and I'm very proud of him. I also can't say enough about Redfern after coming into that first and second, no-outs situation and coming out with no runs. He stopped any and all momentum they had. Additionally, Christian Ficca had a big home run and Jake Hyde continued to stay hot." - Head Coach Edwin Thompson on today's game
