LEXINGTON, Va. -- Washington and Lee split an ODAC doubleheader with Hampden-Sydney on Saturday afternoon at Smith Field. The Tigers won game one in 10 innings, 6-5, before the Generals stormed back to take game two, 7-0.

In game one, junior first baseman Michael Duncan (Roanoke, Va./Cave Spring) scored the game-winning run in the top of the 10th inning to lead Hampden-Sydney to the 6-5 win. Starting pitcher senior David Sigler (Strasburg, Pa./Lampeter-Strasburg) overthrew first base on a sacrifice attempt by centerfielder Charles Gregory (Richmond, Va./Varina) to allow Duncan to score from first base.

The Generals got on the board first in the third inning as sophomore second baseman Todd Johnson (Windsor Locks, Conn./Windsor Locks) scored on a wild pitch and junior third baseman Matt Kozora (Ellicott City, Md./Glenelg) doubled home two runs to give W&L (12-3, 4-2) a 3-0 lead.

H-SC (6-6, 2-4) sliced the lead to two runs in the fifth inning and took a 4-3 lead in the sixth on a two-run triple by junior rightfielder David Szymanski (Windsor, Va./Windsor). The Tigers then added another run in the seventh inning, but the Generals sent the game to extra innings with two runs in the bottom half of the seventh. Kozora drove in a run with a sacrifice fly and sophomore first baseman Brian Gladysz (Palm Harbor, Fla./Palm Harbor) tied the game, 5-5, with an RBI double with two outs. The Tigers then scored the eventual game-winning run off Sigler in the 10th.

Sigler threw all 10 innings for W&L, allowing four earned runs on 12 hits, striking out five. Kozora went 2-for-4 with two doubles and three RBI in the loss.

Freshman leftfielder Warren Poirier (Hopewell, Va./Prince George) led the Tigers by going 3-for-6, scoring one run and driving in another. Junior hurler Joe Pozda (Leesburg, Va./Loudon County) picked up the win in relief for Hampden-Sydney by shutting out the Generals through 3 2/3 innings. He is now 2-1 on the season.

In the second game, freshman pitcher Dan Kagey (Marietta, Ga./Lovett) allowed two hits and no runs in seven innings of work to lead W&L to the 7-0 victory, his fourth win of the season.

The Generals scored two runs in the fourth inning as Johnson and Kagey both drew bases-loaded walks. Washington and Lee added three runs in the fifth inning and two more in the sixth to pick up the seven-run victory.

Sophomore leftfielder Kyle Droppers (Dallas, Pa./Wyoming Seminary) went 3-for-4 with two RBI and Kozora had two hits and one RBI to lead W&L to the win.

The Generals return to action tomorrow afternoon as they host West Virginia Tech in a doubleheader at 1:00 pm.
