HAMPDEN-SYDNEY, Va. -- The Washington and Lee baseball team dropped both games of a doubleheader against Hampden-Sydney on Saturday afternoon in Hampden-Sydney, Va. The Generals lost the first game, 9-8 in 10 innings, before falling 12-5 in the second game.

In game one, Tigers sophomore shortstop Todd Harrell hit a two-out single in the bottom of the 10th inning to drive home junior second baseman Anthony Denale with the game-winning run in the 9-8 win.

The Generals (17-11-1, 9-7) trailed 5-4 after four innings, but scored three runs in the top of the fifth frame to take a 7-5 lead. Senior first baseman Taylor McConnell (Vestal, N.Y./Vestal) had an RBI double, while sophomore leftfielder James Madden (Dallas, Texas/Highland Park) and freshman rightfielder Terrence McKelvey (East Islip, N.Y./East Islip) both connected on run scoring singles.

After H-SC plated two runs in the bottom of the sixth to tie the game at 7-7, W&L tallied a run in the top of the seventh on a solo homerun by Madden to again take the lead at 8-7. However, the Tigers knotted the game-tying run in the bottom of the frame on an RBI single by Denale and then neither team would score again until Harrell's game-winning single in the 10th inning.

Madden finished 3-for-5 with the homerun, two runs and two RBI, while McKelvey batted 3-for-5 with a double, a run and an RBI. Senior shortstop Scott Gosselink (Austin, Texas/St. Stephen's Episcopal) went 2-for-5 with a triple, a homerun, two RBI and three runs. Junior righthander Clayton Edwards (Atlanta, Ga./Westminter) pitched the first 6.2 innings and allowed eight runs, five earned, on 13 hits with four strikeouts. Sophomore lefthander Jeff Pharis (Lynchburg, Va./E.C. Glass) gave up one earned run on four hits in three innings to take the loss (0-2).

For the Tigers, Denale finished 4-for-5 with three runs, while Harrell batted 3-for-6 with one run and two RBI. Senior righthander John Schoenholtz pitched the first 6.2 innings and allowed eight runs, four earned, on 10 hits with six strikeouts. Sophomore righthander Daniel Hadra hurled the final inning to pick up the win (2-1).

In game two, H-SC jumped out to a 9-2 lead after five innings. W&L pulled to within 9-5 with a single run in the sixth on a solo homerun by Edwards and two more in the seventh, including an RBI double by McKelvey, but the Tigers plated three runs in the bottom of the seventh to close out the scoring.

Edwards and McKelvey were two of four Generals to record a hit in the game. Junior lefthander Johnson Brownlow (Knoxville, Tenn./Webb) went 4.2 innings and allowed nine runs, five earned, on nine hits to suffer the loss (2-2).

Sophomore third baseman Josh Michael and Schoenholtz both went 3-for-4 to lead the Tigers. Junior righthander Larry Greene pitched the first six innings and gave up three runs, two earned, on three hits with five strikeouts to earn the win (4-2).

W&L returns to the diamond on Tuesday when it hosts West Virginia Tech at 3:00 pm.
