The Virginia baseball team snapped a two-game losing streak Wednesday with a win over George Washington, 15-3. The Colonials (11-19, 2-1 A-10) were scoreless through seven innings before batting in two runs in the eight and another in the ninth.
The Cavaliers (19-12,6-6 ACC) started the game off hot with five runs in the first inning and proceeded to score in every inning until the seventh. The scoring effort was led by sophomore shortstop Justin Novak and senior left fielder Kevin Doherty, who had five and three RBIs, respectively. Novak had two runs, one of which was a home run.
Virginia had 16 hits on the night while George Washington had nine. Each school had two errors. Senior left-handed pitcher David Rosenberger pitched three full innings for the Cavaliers allowing just two hits and recording one strikeout. Six pitchers played for the Cavaliers on the night with none allowing more than three hits.
The Colonials, on the other hand, had five pitchers in the game. Junior pitcher Cody Bryant was the only player on the team to not allow a hit against Virginia.
The game started out well for the Cavaliers, as sophomore centerfielder Adam Haseley had a leadoff homer, the first of his career, on the first pitch of the night. The rest of the game followed suit for Virginia, with two home runs and 14 RBIs.
The Cavaliers play at Boston College Friday for a 2:30 p.m. start time.
