WASHINGTON – The Georgetown University baseball team downed the George Washington Revolutionaries 8-6 on Tuesday afternoon. With the win, the Hoyas improve to 9-6 on the season while GW slides to 8-8 overall.
 
ON THE RECORD
"I am really proud of our guys, that was a gutty win against a tough team and getting the win in the district rivalry is always great. At the end of the day our guys played well enough to win. I thought Everett Catlett and Andrew Citron were fantastic out of the bullpen for us and Nick Davis picking up his fourth save was great to see. Michael Eze's grand slam was really big for us in that inning and proved to be the deciding factor, so it was great for us to get that. I am really proud of our group and the way we competed, and we will turn around and get ready for another tough game tomorrow against Delaware." - Head Coach Edwin Thompson
