Tribe Baseball Crushes Lafayette, 16-1

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (Feb. 25, 2017)—After earning a thrilling extra-inning victory against Lafayette on Friday night, there was less drama in the Tribe's win against the Leopards on Saturday morning as it cruised to a 16-1 triumph at Plumeri Park.
 
W&M (2-3) scored in each of the first seven innings and posted a pair of five-run frames en route to securing its second-consecutive victory.
 
Nine different Tribe players collected hits, while Ryan Hall and Charles Ameer both homered to lead the offensive charge. Hall, who went deep for the second straight game, drove in three runs, while Ameer finished 2-for-4 with two runs and two RBI.
 
Cullen Large continued his hot streak at the plate and went 2-for-3 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored.
 
The bottom of the Tribe's order was especially productive, as Matthew Tilley (2-for-4, three runs), Matthew Trehub (3-for-3, two RBI, two runs) and Patrick Ryan (2-for-3, three RBI, run) combined to go 7-for-10 at the plate with five RBI and six runs scored.
 
LHP Bodie Sheehan (1-1) earned the victory, as he allowed just one earned run on three hits in 6.0 innings of works. RHP Chris Farrell, RHP Michael Goldak and RHP Chase Bailey combined for three shutout innings in relief to preserve the victory.
 
After the Tribe got on the scoreboard first when Large scored on a wild pitch in the first inning, W&M erupted for five runs in the second frame. Brandon Raquet and Large both drove in a pair of runs with doubles, while Ryan Hall plated a run with a sacrifice fly.
 
The Green and Gold followed up a one-run third inning with five more runs in the fourth to extend the margin to 12-0. Hall highlighted the scoring outburst with a two-run homer in the fourth inning.
 
W&M tacked on two more runs in the fifth frame with a two-run blast over the center field wall by Ameer.
 
After Lafayette (1-5) recorded its lone run in the top of the sixth, the Tribe answered with a run in the bottom half of the frame with a RBI single by Patrick Ryan.
 
W&M tallied its final score with a RBI single by Trehub in the seventh.  
 
The Tribe will look to complete a series sweep when the two teams play at Plumeri Park on Sunday at 1 p.m.
