Baseball Falls 7-3 at William & Mary

Late Runs Key Tribe Past Lancers

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – Longwood baseball fell in the team's lone road game in a nine-game stretch on Tuesday night at William & Mary.
 
The Lancer (21-16) offense never could get its feet under it, and a big seventh inning by William & Mary (15-20) proved the difference in a 7-3 win for the Tribe.

HOW IT HAPPENED:
 
William & Mary struck first in the first inning off an RBI single from Charlie Iriotakis, and Chase Ecker's RBI single in the third extended the lead to 2-0.
 
Longwood's offense scraped and clawed to tie the game in the fourth. A wild pitch put Brogan Jones home, and Jon Howard poked an RBI groundout to score Jae'dan Carter.
 
However, the Tribe rallied in the seventh inning. By the time the damage was done, the home side had plated five runs to take a 7-2 lead.
 
The Lancers answered with a run in the eighth on an RBI groundout from Carter, but the William & Mary pitching staff was able to keep Longwood from doing any more damage.
 
Jack Weight (3-1) earned the win for William & Mary. He tossed 3.1 innings of relief and gave up one run on two hits.
 
Cal Travers (0-1) took the loss for Longwood. He was responsible for three runs on two hits in the seventh.
 
WHAT THEY SAID:
 
"Just another abysmal offensive performance by us," said Longwood Head Coach Ray Noe. "Not going to win many games when we only string together three hits and produce less than 15 quality at bats in a game. Our offense has to find a way to be the aggressor and be dangerous, especially in run-producing situations and advantage counts."
 
"Looking forward to having an off day tomorrow, and I hope to see a new and redefined mindset from this offensive group on Thursday at practice," Noe added.
 
UP NEXT:
 
Longwood returns home to host Presbyterian for a three-game series this weekend. First pitch on Friday is set for 6 p.m., while Saturday's game begins at 3 p.m. The series finale is set for Sunday at 1 p.m.
