Washington & Lee Recap

If the second pitch of the game was anything of things to come then the Petrels knew they were in for a long day. On the second pitch of the game, W&L's leadoff batter crushed a homer deep over the center field wall into the magnolia tree next to the scoreboard. The General's would launch a total of 5 homers on the day as the wind was unusaully blowing straight out to CF at about 15-20mph. The Petrels gave up 21 hits...5 HR's and 6 doubles.

Offensively Chris Lucas and Brendan Pilger had two hits apiece, Ben Giddens had two, two-out RBI singles and Andy Farrey hit his first homer of the year, a towering shot to right field.

Time to regroup, get back in the Win column. No time to hang our heads, its time for a win.

The two teams play again on Monday at NEW TIME 3pm!!

Tough loss, but there is plenty games left on the season. Go Petrels!

Our thanks to the broadcasters of today's game. They were great! Kept the fans informed on every pitch. Would love to see that broadcaster on the air more often. He did a great job!
