  • Starter Nick Ramanjulu had a no-decision, striking out five and allowing two runs in five innings.  Six out of seven Towson relievers did not have a run charged to them, with the final reliever, Jake Pecilunas (1-2), earning the victory with a scoreless ninth.
  • For George Mason, Scott Morgan had a solo home run, going 1-for-5.  Starter Austin Cabone threw six innings with four runs and 10 strikeouts.  Reliever Mason Posey (2-2) got the loss, getting two innings with two unearned runs and three strikeouts.
How It Happened:
  • Towson got to work quickly in the bottom of the first, all with two out.  With Billy Godrick on third, Noah Cabrera roped a single to center for an RBI.  Next batter, Burke Camper sent a pitch over the center field wall for a two-run home run, giving Towson a 3-0 advantage.
  • George Mason got its run in the following half-inning: with the bases loaded and one out, a fielder's choice led to a run scoring as Towson led 3-1.
  • Towson got that run back in a big way.  Javon Fields blasted a pitch to left field for his first collegiate home run and a 4-1 Towson lead.
  • Nick Ramanjulu pitched through the fifth inning, allowing a solo home run but having the lead 4-2 through five.
  • In the top of the sixth against the Towson bullpen, George Mason took advantage of five free passes and a wild pitch to score three and lead 5-4.
  • Towson got runners on in the next couple of innings and equalized in the eighth from an error on a groundball to short, allowing Nolan Young to score from second.
  • In the ninth, following a shutout inning from Jake Pecilunas, Fields drew an eight-pitch walk to begin.  Danny Becerra got aboard from a bunt single, then each Fields and Becerra advanced a base on a throwing error.  Following an intentional walk for Godrick, Young belted a ball over the right-fielder's head for the walk-off RBI single, giving Towson the 6-5 victory.
