EMORY, Va. -- The Washington and Lee baseball team used a no-hitter by junior pitcher Dan Kagey (Marietta, Ga./Lovett) in the second game of a double-header to split with Emory & Henry on Sunday afternoon. The Wasps won the first game, 8-5, before the Generals stormed back for a 26-1 win in the nightcap.
Kagey's no-hitter was the second of his career and the eighth by a Washington and Lee player since 1907. In the win, W&L pounded out a total of 28 hits led by senior centerfielder Bobby Littlehale (Villa Park, Ill./Willowbrook), who went 5-for-6 with a home run and six RBI. Senior shortstop Michael Hanson (Atlanta, Ga./Pace Academy) went 4-for-5 with four RBI.
Kagey pitched all seven innings, striking out 13 while allowing just one walk. The win upped his record to 1-1 on the season. The Generals (3-2, 1-1) committed three errors in the game, allowing the Wasps to plate an unearned run in the third inning.
In the opener, W&L led 3-2 entering the bottom half of the sixth inning when E&H (1-1, 1-1) scored six runs to assume an 8-3 lead. Three of the runs were scored on a three-run home run by senior pitcher Jay Rosser off of junior pitcher Bryan Mulhern (Chadds Ford, Pa./Uniontown).
Junior Peter Dean (Vienna, Va./James Madison) took the loss to drop to 1-1 on the season. He surrendered eight hits over five innings with seven strikeouts and no walks.
At the plate, the Generals were led by junior second baseman Austin Allain (Weston, Mass./Weston), who went 3-for-3 with a pair of doubles. Kagey recorded three hits in four at-bats, while Hanson was 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the fourth inning.
Washington and Lee returns to action on Tuesday as it travels to Mary Washington for a 3:00 pm contest.
