WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Senior first baseman Brian Gladysz (Palm Harbor, Fla./Berkeley Prep) drove in junior second baseman Austin Allain (Weston, Mass./Weston) with two outs in the top of the 12th inning to lift Washington and Lee to a 5-4 win over Virginia Wesleyan on Sunday afternoon at Ernie Shore Field.

The Generals (26-6) will be looking to capture their first-ever ODAC Championship when they square off one last time against the Marlins at 4:30 p.m., on Sunday afternoon.

W&L struck first in the top of the third when both Gladysz and senior shortstop Michael Hanson (Atlanta, Ga./Pace Academy) crossed the plate on a two-base throwing error by Virginia Wesleyan shortstop Paul Johnson.

The top-seeded Marlins (30-7) answered in the bottom of the fifth inning. Third baseman Michael Snapp led off with a double and came around to score on centerfielder Dan Sellers' home run to right-center.

After the Marlins went up 3-2 in the sixth inning, the Generals forced the game into extra-innings on freshman third baseman Taylor McConnell's (Vestal, N.Y./Vestal) two-out, one-run single to right.

Junior righthander Mike Wert (Pittsburgh, Pa./North Allegheny) improved to 6-1 on the season after allowing one run on three hits and three walks in 5 1/3 innings of relief work.

Chris Rivera (1-1) was tagged with the loss for the Marlins after relieving starter Derrick Rawlings, who threw 10 innings.

Junior catcher Bryan Mulhern (Chadds Ford, Pa./Unionville) paced the Generals and established a new school record for hits in season by going 3-for-5 with two runs. He now has 52 hits on the year, surpassing the previous mark of 51 set by Christian Batcheller'00 in 1997. Gladysz was 2-for-6.

Johnson, who was 3-for-6 with one RBI, and Sellers (2-for-5, two RBIs) led the Marlins at the plate.
