Freshman Starter Pat Lehman Goes 7 Strong Innings in GW's 12-4 Win At UMBC
April 18, 2006
BALTIMORE, MD - Freshman second baseman Doug Eizen's (Philadelphia, PA / The Haverford School) first collegiate home run and third baseman Tom Shanley's (Stanfordville, NY / Pine Plain) two doubles and two RBI's led George Washington University (13-23) to a 12-4 non conference victory Tuesday evening against UMBC (11-21) at the Baseball Factory Field.
Freshman starter Pat Lehman (1-2) earned his first collegiate win with seven strong innings, allowing three runs and striking out eight.
Shanley and center fielder Matt Owens (Fayetteville, GA / Fayette County) each drove in a first inning run to push the Colonials to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning.
GW scored four times in the fifth inning and two more an inning later to take a take a 10-3 advantage after six frames.
The Colonials out hit the Retrievers 14-9 and did not commit an error compared to UMBC's four miscues.
Five Colonials recorded at least two hits including shortstop Michael Parker (Newton, MA / Newton South) and left fielder Charlie Kruer (Old Bridge, NJ / Old Bridge) who both went 2-for-6 in the contest.
RHP Dan Blewitt (1-2) took the loss for UMBC, going just 3.0 innings, allowing four runs on six hits with five strike outs. UMBC used six pitchers in the game.
