LEXINGTON, Va. -- Junior pitcher Peter Dean (Vienna, Va./James Madison) fired a four-hit, complete-game shutout to lead the Washington and Lee baseball team to a 3-0 win over Virginia Wesleyan in the first game of a doubleheader on Saturday at Cap'n Dick Smith Field. VWC bounced back in the second game, ending W&L's school-record 15-game winning streak with a 7-3 decision.

In the first game, W&L (17-3, 10-2 ODAC) pushed across its' first run in the bottom of the fourth when sophomore third baseman Adam Bullock (Alexandria, Va./Gonzaga) drove in junior catcher Bryan Mulhern (Chadds Ford, Pa./Unionville) with a single. An inning later, the Generals struck for two more runs as Mulhern hit a two-run, bases-loaded single to left.

Dean improves to 5-1 on the season and lowered his team-best ERA to 1.81. Sophomore Jason Jarrett (Westminster, Md./Westminster) threw six innings for the Marlins, allowing three runs on eight hits and two walks to fall to 4-1 on the season.

In game 2, the second batter of the contest, junior shortstop Paul Johnson (Port Chester, N.Y./Blind Brook), hit a solo shot to left field to score the first of the Marlins' (18-5, 9-1 ODAC) five first-inning runs.

Virginia Wesleyan added insurance runs in the third and fifth innings, and the Generals were never able to cut the lead to less than four.

Sophomore starter Adam Hamilton (Virginia Beach, Va./Kellam) and freshman Zach Baker (Virginia Beach, Va./First Colonial) combined to hold W&L to three runs on 12 hits and three walks. Baker picked up the win to go to 1-0 on the season.

Junior starter Dan Kagey (Marietta, Ga./Lovett) was saddled with the loss (4-2) after surrendering six runs (two earned) on five hits in three innings of work.

Offensively, the Generals were led by Mulhern who went 6-for-8 with four RBI on the afternoon. Senior shortstop Michael Hanson (Atlanta, Ga./Pace Academy) was 3-for-9 and hit a leadoff home run, his fourth of the season, in the second game. Senior centerfielder Bobby Littlehale (Villa Park, Ill./Willowbrook) was 4-for-8.

Pacing VWC were senior designated hitter John Kasiski (Chesapeake, Va./Indian River), who was 4-for-6, and senior rightfielder T.J. Adams (Virginia Beach, Va./Salem), who was 3-for-7.

W&L is in action again on Tuesday when it hosts Roanoke for a 3:00 pm contest.
