LEXINGTON, Va. -- Junior second baseman Austin Allain (Weston, Mass./Weston) went 4-for-8 with three RBI and the Generals' pitching staff never allowed a Lynchburg runner to advance past second base as Washington and Lee swept a doubleheader from the Hornets, 1-0 and 8-0 on Sunday afternoon at Smith Field. The wins gave W&L Head Coach Jeff Stickley his 200th and 201st career wins, upping his overall record to 201-232-3 over 17 seasons.

In the opening game, neither team could push across a run until Allain singled home freshman third baseman Scott Gosselink (Austin, Texas/St. Stephen's Episcopal) with the game-winner with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning. An error by Lynchburg junior second baseman Anthony Palmisano (Huddleston, Va./James River) with two outs kept the inning alive to set up Allain's heroics.

Junior left hander Peter Dean (Vienna, Va./James Madison) upped his record to 6-1 on the season by tossing a complete-game two-hitter, extending his scoreless inning streak to 16 2/3. Allain finished 2-for-4 with one RBI at the dish.

Lynchburg (14-14, 8-7) senior left hander Brent McColley (Springfield, Va./Robert E. Lee) fell to 5-4 on the season, tossing 6 2/3 innings, allowing eight hits.

In the second game, the Generals (20-3, 13-2) pushed across two runs in the first inning, two more in the third, and created distance with four runs in the fourth inning. Allain again had the hot bat, going 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI. Senior centerfielder Bobby Littlehale (Villa Park, Ill./Willowbrook) also went 2-for-4 with two RBI at the plate.

Junior right hander Dan Kagey (Marietta, Ga./Lovett) tossed seven innings of three-hit ball to improve to 6-2 on the season. He struck out seven and walked three.

LC senior right hander Mike Ranson (Tega Cay, S.C./Olentangy) fell to 5-4 on the season, allowing six earned runs on eight hits in 3 1/3 innings of work.

Washington and Lee returns to action on Tuesday as it travels to Roanoke for a 7:00 pm contest. The game will be played at Salem Memorial Stadium, home of the Salem Avalanche.
