Ryan Hall Improves His Tribe Baseball Career Hit Ranking at Elon

ELON, N.C. – William & Mary baseball senior Ryan Hall advanced to sixth in school history in career hits during a 17-4 loss at Elon on Friday afternoon. Hall recorded his 14th multiple hit game to lead the Tribe (15-38, 3-20 CAA) versus the Phoenix (34-21, 15-8 CAA).
 
Trailing by nine runs, W&M generated a three-run frame in the fifth in an effort to rally. Three consecutive singles from freshman Matt McDermott and sophomores Patrick Ryan and Brandon Raquet loaded the bases. Junior Zach Pearson and Hall both drove in runs via ground out, before junior Hunter Smith slapped a two-out RBI single to right field for a 9-3 affair.
 
However, the Phoenix kept its foot on the gas pedal after producing eight runs over the next three innings. In the top of the eighth, Hall smoked a lead off bomb to left center for the Tribe's fourth run.
 
Tribe Standouts
Hall drove in two runs to go along with his two hits, while junior Jason Waldman also knocked a pair of base hits. Pearson and Smith both singled and posted an RBI. Senior Craig McLane came off the bench to go 1-for-2 at the dish.
