Baseball Falls to Bridgewater, 14-9 on Wednesday

BRIDGEWATER, Va. – The Washington and Lee baseball team came up short against the Bridgewater Eagles in a Wednesday evening slugfest and dropped the ODAC contest, 14-9.
The Eagles (15-23, 8-12 ODAC) used a four-run bottom of the fifth and held the Generals (15-15, 9-11)  scoreless for the final six frames to come from behind an claim the conference win. 

The Generals trailed 7-3 going into the top of the third but bounced back with a six-run frame to take a two-run lead. Junior shortstop Ethan Zulueta (Matthews, N.C./Weddington) hit a one-out single to load the bases. Senior center fielder Mitchell Salvino (Charlotte, N.C./Charlotte Catholic) hit his third triple of the year and cleared the bases to tie the game at seven a piece. A pair of singles by senior left fielder Zach Perkins (Vienna, Va./James Madison) and sophomore catcher Campbell Charneco (Clifton, Va./Centreville) pushed the Generals ahead by two.
The Eagles, who put up seven runs in the first two innings, kept the bats working in the fifth inning. Bridgewater worked a pair of walks and a hit-by-pitch to stack the bases. A sacrifice fly brought the Eagles within one and was followed with a three-run shot to clear the bases and put Bridgewater ahead 11-9.
W&L would not put any additional runs on the board after the third inning and the Eagles closed out the game with three insurance scores for a five-run win.
The seniors took charge at the plate this evening for the Generals. Salvino finished 2-for-5 with four runs batted in including the triple. Perkins ended his night going 3-for-4, he scored once and hitting one across himself.
Leading the night for the Eagles was fifth-year left fielder Jarret Biesecker who went 4-for-6, senior first baseman Hunter Clever who went 2-for-4, and sophomore center fielder Lucas Bauer going 2-for-3. The three combined for five runs batted in and crossed the plate five times themselves.
