LEXINGTON, Va. -- Washington and Lee senior first baseman Brian Gladysz (Palm Harbor, Fla./Berkeley Prep) scored in the bottom of the ninth inning when Villa Julie junior leftfielder Jason Bungori (Calvert Hall) misplayed junior designated hitter Bryan Mulhern's (Chadds Ford, Pa./Unionville) single to lift the Generals to a 4-3 win on Wednesday at Cap'n Dick Smith Field.

The Mustangs (14-19) got their only offense in the top of the first inning as they pushed across three runs. Freshman third baseman Matt Waltrop (Dulaney) drove in the first run with a sacrifice fly to right to put Villa Julie up 1-0. Then, senior designated hitter Lee Jamison (Lynnfield, Mass.) hit a two-out, two-run triple to make it 3-0.

From that point, W&L junior righthander Mike Wert (Pittsburgh, Pa./North Allegheny) blanked the Mustangs by allowing five hits the rest of the way.

After getting one run in the bottom half of the first inning, the Generals (27-7) evened the score in the second. Sophomore catcher Zach Bausch (Vienna, Va./McLean), who had doubled to lead off the inning, scored on senior shortstop Michael Hanson's (Atlanta, Ga./Pace Academy) sacrifice fly to rightfield to make it 3-2. Junior second baseman Austin Allain (Weston, Mass./Weston) then drilled a double to score sophomore rightfielder Chris Chaplin (Midlothian, Va./James River).

The game remained tied at 3-3 until the bottom of the ninth when Gladysz scored the game-winner.

Wert (7-1) threw a complete game, surrendering three runs on nine hits and two walks. Villa Julie righthander Jim Whisman (Glen Burnie) went 8 1/3 innings and was saddled with the loss after allowing four runs (two earned) on 10 hits and five walks.

Allain, Hanson and Mulhern each had two hits to lead the Generals. Freshman rightfielder Zach Moye (Carver A&T) was 3-for-5 to pace the Mustangs, while Jamison was 2-for-4.

W&L is back on the diamond on Friday afternoon when it hosts Savannah Art & Design for a 3:00 p.m. contest.
