WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — The William & Mary baseball returns to road conference play with a three-game series at UNCW this weekend. The action will get underway from Brooks Field in Wilmington on Friday at 6 p.m., followed by a 4 p.m. start on Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday. All games will be streamed live on FloSports.

LAST TIME OUT
The Tribe lost a marathon affair to Duke on Tuesday, falling to the Blue Devils 3-2 in 12 innings. Eleven William & Mary pitchers combined to hold an ACC offense to just six hits. The three runs allowed was tied for second-fewest in a game by W&M this season, and 12 strikeouts by the staff was the fifth-most. On the defensive side, the Tribe played error-free baseball for the second straight game. INF Jamie Laskofski was on base three times, going 2-for-4 with an RBI and a walk.

UPPING THE STREAK
With base hits against Duke, outfielders Ben Parker and Lucas Carmichael extended their dual hitting streaks to 18 games. That is tied for the sixth-longest streak since 2004, as far as single-game records date back.

Parker has eight multi-hit games in his last 10 contests, giving him 17 for the season to pace the Tribe. Carmichael is right behind his teammate with 16 multi-hit performances.
