Fields, Austin Homer Back-to-Back in Towson Baseball Defeat at GW

ARLINGTON, Va. – The Towson University baseball team took an early 4-2 lead at George Washington, including back-to-back home runs by Javon Fields and Brandon Austin, but fell to the Colonials 8-4 on a very windy day in Arlington.
 
Winds reached upwards of 30 miles per hour at Tucker Field as Towson (13-22) took advantage early with back-to-back home runs in the second inning but fell to six unanswered runs by GW (12-10).
 
The loss snaps Towson's three-game winning streak.
 
Key Stats:
  • Brandon Austin reached base three times in the game, finishing 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks.  Javon Fields hit a two-run home run in the second to conclude 1-for-4 on the afternoon.
  • On the mound, starter Nick Ramanjulu pitched the first with two runs and a strikeout, followed by Nolan Bolt going two scoreless.  The defeat went to Matt Watters (0-1), who had three runs surrendered in the fourth inning, striking out one.
  • GW hit three home runs in the game, including one by Noah Levin, who hit 2-for-4, adding a triple and three RBI.  Starter Keagan McGinnis did not get a decision with two innings, three runs and three strikeouts.  Reliever Connor Harris (1-0) picked up the victory, throwing four scoreless frames and striking out three.
How It Happened:
  • With the wind whipping towards the outfield, hitters got some early help against pitchers from the elements.  GW got the early lead off a two-run home run from Noah Levin in the first inning.
  • Towson took advantage in the next half-inning, starting with Noah Cabrera getting hit by a pitch.  Javon Fields sent a ball down the left field line and over the fence for a two-run home run to tie the game.  Next batter, Brandon Austin launched a pitch over the left-field fence for a solo shot, giving Towson the lead 3-2.
  • Nolan Bolt held down the Colonials as Towson added insurance in the fourth.  Back-to-back walks and a passed ball set up second and third.  Jack McLaughlin hit a sacrifice fly to center, bringing in Austin for a 4-2 Towson advantage.
  • GW then got assistance from the wind in the bottom of the fourth, using an RBI double to left and a two-run home run by Eddie Micheletti to go up 5-4.
  • GW added another run in the fifth and two more in the sixth, the latter a two-run home run by Tyler Hix, to lead 8-4.
  • Towson had a comeback attempt in the eighth, picking up a couple of runners with walks from Nolan Young and Austin, but could not get a run across.  GW held and won 8-4.
Inside the Numbers:
  • With a stolen base by Nolan Young today, Towson has 52 stolen bases this year.  One more would place the 2021 team in the top-10 for steals in a single season in Towson history.
  • Brandon Austin and Javon Fields share the team lead for home runs with three each.
  • In his last two games at GW in Arlington, Brandon Austin is a combined 4-for-6 with three RBI.
Next Game:
Towson returns to Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) play on Friday, April 23, beginning with an 11 a.m. doubleheader at Hofstra.
