LEXINGTON, Va. -- Washington and Lee scored five unearned runs to upend Savannah Art & Design, 7-2, in non-conference baseball action on Friday afternoon at Cap'n Dick Smith Field.

The Generals (28-7) pushed three runs across in the bottom of the second inning to take a lead they would never relinquish. After senior centerfielder Bobby Littlehale (Villa Park, Ill./Willowbrook) and junior catcher Bryan Mulhern (Chadds Ford, Pa./Unionville) each reached with back-to-back singles, junior leftfielder Dan Kagey (Marietta, Ga./Lovett) attempted a sacrifice bunt to move them up. However, SCAD junior catcher Jarrod Norrell (Smyrna, Ga./Campbell) fielded the bunt and overthrew first base, allowing both Littlehale and Mulhern to score and moving Kagey to third. Sophomore designated hitter Zach Bausch (Vienna, Va./McLean) then lofted a sacrifice fly to score Kagey.

W&L provided junior lefthander Peter Dean (Vienna, Va./James Madison) with two insurance runs in both the fourth and eighth innings.

The Bees (14-23) managed their two runs on RBI singles by a pair of freshmen, shortstop James O'Connell (Hilton Head Island, S.C./Hilton Head) and third baseman Chris Rud (Savannah, Ga./Bradwell Institute), in the sixth and seventh innings, respectively.

Dean improved to 8-2 on the season with the win after allowing the two runs on 11 hits and no walks over eight innings. Bees starter, senior Brad Kempson (Powder Springs, Ga./McEachern), took the loss to fall to 7-7 after throwing a complete game. He was touched for seven runs (two earned) on nine hits.

Bausch, who was 2-for-3 with two RBIs and two runs, hit a solo home run in the bottom of the eighth. Littlehale was 3-for-4.

O'Connell's 3-for-4 day led the Bees, while freshman second baseman Josh Eastwood (Orlando, Fla./Dr. Phillips) was 2-for-4.

The Generals wrap up their regular season tomorrow afternoon at 1:00 p.m. when they play host to the Bees.
