ARLINGTON, Va. — George Washington pounded out 15
hits and went on to score 15 runs as it completed a three-game
Atlantic 10 series sweep of St. Bonaventure with a 15-4 victory on
Saturday afternoon at Barcroft Park.
The Brown and White have dropped all six of their A-10 contests,
while the Colonials are a perfect 6-0 in league play.
After opening the A-10 slate with six straight games on the
road, the Bonnies (4-14) will now return to Fred Handler Park for
five of their next six games. St. Bonaventure will host Le Moyne in
a non-conference doubleheader on Tuesday, March 6, head to Niagara
for a single game on Wednesday and then host Fordham in a
three-game A-10 set over the weekend.
Sophomore Nick Brennen started on the mound for
the Bonnies, as they used a total of four different pitchers.
Brennen did strikeout six batters over 5.1 innings, but gave up 10
hits. Only four of the eight runs Brennen gave up were earned as
the Bona defense committed a season-worst six errors that lead to
nine unearned runs.
GW jumped out to an 8-0 lead by the bottom of the fourth, until
St. Bonaventure plated all four of its runs in the top of the fifth
to cut the deficit in half, at 8-4. Junior Jesse
Bosnik drove in two of the runs on a single, while a pair
of Colonial errors brought home the other two runs.
Neither team plated a run in the sixth or seventh inning until
GW posted a seven-run bottom of the eighth to seal its seventh
straight win.
Brennen helped himself at the plate, going 3-for-4 with a run
scored. Brennen is 9-for-21 at the plate over his five starts on
the mound this season. Four of the team's 10 hits were
doubles. Senior leadoff man Nick Cunliffe went
2-for-5 with a double while juniors Ryan Mosher
and Derek Speaker each had a double, as well.
Bosnik's two-run single in the fifth extended his hit streak
to 16 games.
