Cone himself scored on a fielding error before sophomore infielder Fenwick Trimble was thrown out at home capping off the scoring and giving James Madison a 8-5 lead to end the top of the eighth.
The Dukes continued their tear in the eighth with three more runs, featuring another two-run double to left field from Cone that pushed their lead to two, 7-5. The Colonials responded in the bottom of the fifth when senior third baseman Robby Wacker struck a two-run double to right-center and advanced to third, leading to a 5-1 score.Īfter a scoreless sixth inning, the Dukes exploded in the seventh with four runs, two of them coming off a double from sophomore catcher Jason Schiavone that scored in second and third base. The score did not change until the fifth inning coming on James Madison’s first one-run single from their designated hitter Jack Cone. “From the start, we came out hot and swinging and scored a few runs which is exactly what we expect from our offense.” “I think there was a lot of positives from the game,” DiTomaso said. GW extended their lead to 4-0 in the second inning after sophomore center-fielder Sam Gates lined a one-run double down the right field line and DiTomaso recorded a two-run single immediately after. The Colonials took an early lead in the first inning, thanks to a one-run single from graduate student catcher and clean-up hitter Anthony Frechette, knocking in senior utility player Steve DiTomaso after he made it to first on a ground ball. GW clawed back, coming within a single run before a fly ball to left field ended the game, concluding a four-game homestand where GW captured victories in the first three matchups. The Colonials (8–18) suffered an 8-7 loss to the Dukes (15–9), letting a sixth-inning, four-run lead get away as James Madison posted four runs in the top of the seventh inning and three in the eighth. Baseball suffered a narrow defeat to James Madison University at home Tuesday in an offensive battle that saw GW come up one run short with two runners on base in the final inning.
