Tribe?s Five-Game Winning Streak Snapped

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (March 2, 2013) - The William and Mary baseball team had its five-game winning streak snapped with a 10-4 loss against Penn in the second game of a doubleheader at Plumeri Park on Saturday afternoon.

W&M (6-4) was led by freshman catcher Ryan Hissey, who went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a RBI, while senior designated hitter Jackson Shaver went 1-for-2 with a run scored.

Penn's (1-2) RHP Dan Gautieri (1-0) earned the victory, LHP Ronnie Glenn earned his first save of the season. W&M's sophomore LHP Jason Inghram (1-2) took the loss.

Penn jumped out to an early lead with a run in the top of the first when catcher Austin Bossart drove in right fielder Ryan Deitrich with a two-out double to deep right center.

The Quakers extended their lead to 2-0 with another run in the top of the third. Third baseman Rick Brebner led off the frame with a double to right and later scored on a groundout by Bossart.

W&M responded with three runs in the bottom of half of the third frame to go ahead, 3-2. After Hissey and Shaver led off the frame with back-to-back singles, both runners scored when senior right fielder Derek Lowe reached on a throwing error by Penn's second baseman. Sophomore third baseman Michael Katz later plated Lowe with a two-out single to left.

Penn retook the lead with three runs in the fourth inning. Shortstop Mitch Montaldo led off with a single through the left side, and centerfielder Gary Tesch followed with another single two batters later to put runners on the corners. After Montaldo scored on a double steal, second baseman Michael Vilardo plated another run with a RBI single to left. Deitrich brought in the final run of the inning with a sacrifice fly to center.

W&M got a run back in the bottom of the sixth with a two-out RBI double to center by Hissey, but Penn outscored the Tribe 5-0 in the final three innings.

The teams will close out the series when they play on Sunday at 1 p.m.
