LEXINGTON, Va. -- Sophomore centerfielder Sean Smith (Baltimore, Md./Catonsville) singled home the game-winning run with two outs in the top of the ninth inning to lift Savannah A&D to a 4-3 win over Washington and Lee in non-conference baseball action on Saturday at Cap'n Dick Smith Field.

Savannah Art & Design (15-23), which evened the score at 3-3 in the seventh inning, started its game-winning rally with a two-out double by junior pitcher Rich Fallat (Seven Hills, Ohio/Normandy). Smith, the next batter, then scored him with a single to right-centerfield.

The game, which was twice delayed by lightning and rain, saw the Generals jump out to a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning. After senior shortstop Michael Hanson (Atlanta, Ga./Pace Academy) and junior second baseman Austin Allain (Weston, Mass./Weston) both reached base, senior first baseman Brian Gladysz (Palm Harbor, Fla./Berkeley Prep) hit a three-run homer over the wall in rightfield.

W&L (28-8) chased SCAD starter, senior Harold Jones (Miami, Fla./Miami Coral Park), after one inning, but Fallat (3-1) came on in relief and threw eight innings of shutout ball to earn the win.

Junior righthander Dan Kagey (Marietta, Ga./Lovett) allowed three runs over seven innings of work for the Generals. Hanson (2-1), who came in and threw the final two innings, was saddled with the loss after allowing one run on two hits.

Smith and freshman second baseman Josh Eastwood (Orlando, Fla./Dr. Phillips) went 2-for-4 and 2-for-5, respectively, to lead the Bees.

For W&L, senior centerfielder Bobby Littlehale (Villa Park, Ill./Willowbrook) was 2-for-4, while sophomore leftfielder Warren Hunter (Richmond, Va./Collegiate) was 2-for-3.

The Generals have now concluded their regular season and will await word as to whether or not they will receive an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament.
