Towson Baseball Back in the Win Column with Victory vs. George Washington

TOWSON, Md. – The Towson University baseball team earned a season-high 15 hits en route to a 9-6 mid-week victory over George Washington to close out the homestand.
 
Towson (9-20) came back from down four early with nine runs in the final five innings at the plate vs. George Washington (15-14).  Six Tigers multi-hit while eight Towson players in the starting lineup hitting safely.
 
Key Stats:
  • Danny Becerra had a strong day at the plate, going 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, two runs and four RBI.  Jordan Peyton also scored twice, finishing 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI.
  • On the mound, starter Ethan Pecko went two innings with an unearned run and four strikeouts.  The win was earned by Max Simpson (2-0), who threw two-and-two-thirds scoreless with three strikeouts.
  • For GW, Anthony Frechette reached base three times, going 2-for-4 with a run, a walk and an RBI.  Starter Logan Koester (2-1) got the loss with four innings and five runs, just four earned.
How It Happened:
  • GW got on the scoreboard in the opening inning, with an Anthony Frechette RBI double bringing in an unearned run for a 1-0 Colonials lead.
  • Towson hit safely in each of the first three innings but could not get anyone across early.  GW loaded the bases in the fourth, then Mike Ludowig hit a ball over the centerfielder's head for a bases-clearing double and a 4-0 GW advantage.
  • Towson got the bats going in the bottom of the fourth.  Jack McLaughlin went opposite way for a double down the right field line, taking third on a passed ball.  Burke Camper grounded out to the right side to allow McLaughlin to score.  Nolan Young followed with a slap single to right-center and stealing second.  Max Samson floated a ball to shallow left for a double, getting Young home to make it 4-2 GW.
  • Into the fifth, Towson's first four batters reached via hit-by-pitch and three singles to bring in two runs.  After another single, a ground out by McLaughlin brought in another run and gave Towson a 5-4 lead.
  • Towson held off a GW rally attempt in the sixth with second and third and one out, not allowing a run thanks to a great play by Young at third to snare a ground ball and throw a runner out at home.  The Tigers added to their lead: Samson lined a single to right and advanced via sacrifice bunt.  Jordan Peyton launched a pitch to the left-center gap for a double, scoring Samson.  Two batters later, Danny Becerra flew a ball over the left field fence for a two-run home run as Towson led 8-4.
  • Noah Levin led off the top of the seventh with a home run for GW.  Towson got that run back in the bottom of the eighth as Becerra got a double in the right-center gap to score Peyton.
  • GW had a last gasp with a solo home run and two runners on in the ninth to put the potential tying run at the plate.  A ground ball double play ended the game as Towson took the victory 9-6.

  • 15 hits are the most amount for Towson this season.  The Tigers had 12 hits in four different games previously.
  • Towson tied a team-high five doubles in this game, also having five at Maryland on Mar. 29.
