LEXINGTON, Va. -- The Washington and Lee baseball team split a double-header with Villa Julie on Saturday afternoon at Cap'n Dick Smith Field. The Generals took game one by a 9-4 count and fell in the second game, 7-6.

In the opener, senior left hander Peter Dean (Vienna, Va./James Madison) tossed a complete-game six-hitter to improve to 2-0 on the season. The Generals erupted for five runs in the fourth inning as junior third baseman Adam Bullock (Alexandria, Va./Gonzaga) knocked in two runs with a two-out double to left field. Bullock finished the game 2-for-3 with three RBI. Senior shortstop Austin Allain (Weston, Mass./Weston) also went 2-for-3 with a pair of RBI, while senior catcher Bryan Mulhern (Chadds Ford, Pa./Unionville) went 3-for-4 at the dish with one RBI.

In game two, W&L (3-2) trailed 7-2 heading into the bottom of the sixth inning, but mounted a valient comeback, cutting the score to 7-6 entering the final inning. Mulhern led off the sixth with his second home run of the season and junior catcher Zach Bausch (Vienna, Va./McLean) then doubled to left field. Freshman right fielder Richard Garland (Fort Worth, Texas/Arlington Heights) brought Bausch home with a single to right field and later scored on a sacrifice fly to left field by freshman third baseman Clayton Edwards (Atlanta, Ga./Westminster). Sophomore Scott Gosselink (Austin, Texas/St. Stephen's Episcopal) then capped the scoring with a pinch-hit solo home run to left field, his third round-tripper of the season.

The rally fell short in the bottom of the seventh as Villa Julie (1-1) junior right hander Justin McKeever sent the Generals down in order for the complete-game victory.

No W&L player recorded more than one hit in the contest. Freshman left hander Johnson Brownlow (Knoxville, Tenn./Webb) was saddled with his first loss of the season after allowing four earned runs in 3.1 innings of work.

Washington and Lee returns to action on Wednesday as it hosts Southern Virginia for a 3:00 pm contest.
