LEXINGTON, Va. - West Virginia Tech sophomore John Sullivan hit a one-out, sacrifice fly to right in the top of the seventh inning to score junior John Hanson and edge Washington and Lee, 3-2, in game one of the teams' baseball doubleheader on Sunday at Cap'n Dick Smith Field. The Golden Bears earned the sweep with a 7-1 victory over the Generals in game two.

Trailing 2-1 in the bottom of the fifth, W&L tied the game as freshman third baseman Clayton Edwards (Atlanta, Ga./Westminster) took advantage of a miss-throw by the Golden Bears junior catcher Mike Coleman and slipped home.

The run proved to be the last of the game for the Generals, however, as sophomore right hander Levi Merritt held W&L to just one hit in the final two innings. Merrit earned the complete-game victory after giving up just six hits and fanning seven Generals.

Freshman designated hitter Richard Garland (Fort Worth, Texas/Arlington Heights) led W&L from the plate with a 2-for-3 performance that included his second home run of the weekend. Senior Bryan Mulhern (Chadd's Ford, Pa./Unionville) suffered the loss, falling to 1-2 on the season.

In game two W&L (16-12) struck first as junior designated hitter Zach Bausch (Vienna, Va./McLean) connected on his 11th double the season and drove in senior shortstop Austin Allain (Weston, Mass./Weston) in the bottom of the first inning.

The Golden Bears (20-17) answered with one run in each of the second, third and fourth innings, and four runs in the fifth inning to set the final score at 7-1. Junior Doug Brown earned the win after holding the Generals to five hits in five innings on the mound.

Bausch went 3-for-3 with one RBI to lead W&L offensively, while Edwards gave up seven hits and three runs in falling to 0-1 on the season.

The Generals return to action on Wednesday when they travel to Roanoke for a 7:00 p.m. contest.
