Spiders Fall in Doubleheader at George Mason
03/31/2018 | Baseball
FAIRFAX, Va. – The Spider Baseball team fell in a doubleheader at George Mason on Saturday afternoon.
Game 1 Recap
It was a pitcher's duel in game one of the Saturday twinbill that was decided in extra innings. However, the Spiders fell to George Mason, 1-0.
Tim Miller was stellar in his seven innings of work as he only allowed two hits and struck out seven, one shy of his career high.
Despite outhitting the Patriots, the deciding hit of the game came for Mason in the bottom of the 10th. An RBI single from Tyler Nelin allowed Greg Popatak to score and end the game in Mason's favor, 1-0.
Game 2 Recap
The Patriots grabbed an early lead in the first on a sac fly. Richmond looked to respond in the second but a strikeout ended the inning leaving the bases loaded. Mason tacked on a run in the home half of the second to go ahead 2-0.
With two outs in the fifth, the Spiders chipped away at Mason's lead. Vinny Capra doubled to left and scored on a single from Daniel Brumbaugh, making it a one-run game, 2-1. A pair of hits in the sixth allowed the Patriots to extend their lead, 4-1. They'd add one more in the eighth to make it 5-1.
The series finale with George Mason is set for tomorrow at 1PM. The game will be available on the A-10 Network.
