WASHINGTON - The Georgetown University baseball team went to extras for the second-straight game, falling to VCU 4-3 in 12 innings on Tuesday. The Hoyas dropped to 29-22 overall while the Rams jumped to 33-18 on the season.

"It was a great ball game and I am proud of our guys for their fight after a tough game on Sunday to come back and play one of the top teams in our region. Ayden Head, Andrew DeRoche, Kyle Salley, Mike Willis did a great job out of the pen and kept us in this game. Let's get the fans out to Povich to honor our seniors this week in an important series for our program." - Head Coach Edwin Thompson on tonight's game
