ATLANTA, Ga. -- The Washington and Lee baseball team committed five errors and fell, 9-3, to Emory (Atlanta) on Tuesday afternoon in Atlanta, Ga.

The Eagles, who scored at least one run in the first six innings, led 3-0 after three frames. However, W&L bounced back to even the score at 3-3 with three runs in the top of the fourth. Senior shortstop Michael Hanson (Atlanta, Ga./Pace Academy) singled home junior pitcher Dan Kagey (Marietta, Ga./Lovett), while a sacrifice fly by junior third baseman Austin Allain (Weston, Mass./Weston) and a bases-loaded walk to senior centerfielder Bobby Littlehale (Villa Park, Ill./Willowbrook) accounted for the other runs.

The Eagles responded immediately in the home half of the fourth, sending four more runs across on four hits and one Generals' error. They added one run apiece in both the fifth and sixth innings for the final tally.

Hanson banged out three hits and drove in one run to lead the W&L (1-1) offense. Kagey, who went 2-for-4 at the plate, allowed 10 hits and eight runs (six earned) in five innings on the mound.

Emory second baseman Michael Sayegh went 4-for-5 with three RBI to power the Eagles. Leftfielder Kyle Foster (2-for-4, 1 RBI) and third baseman Andrew Pinckney (2-for-4, 1 RBI) also made solid contributions.

W&L wraps up its swing through Atlanta on Thursday when it plays at Oglethorpe (3:00 pm).
