Box Score

WILLIAMSBURG, Virginia - The Quinnipiac baseball team has now won two games in a row after defeating William & Mary, 10-3, on Saturday afternoon. The Bobcats would score nine of their ten runs in the third and fourth innings, led by a grand slam from Evan Vulgamore. Brandon Shileikis picked up the victory for Quinnipiac, his first of the year.

NOTES

The Bobcats would load the bases before getting an out in the top of the third inning.
Freshman Ian Ostberg (Northampton, Massachussets) would lead off the frame with a single.
Sophomore Andre Marrero (West Springfield, Massachusetts) and classmate Dylan Lutz (Denver, Colorado) would reach base via hit by pitch and walk, respectively.
Ostberg would then score on a fielder's choice, but the bases would remain loaded because of a throwing error.
Junior Liam Scafariello (Southington, Connecticut) then drove in a pair of runs with a single to left field.
Freshman Colton Bender (Lebanon, Connecticut) would plate another with a two-out single.
Scafariello would then score the final run of the inning before Bender was caught stealing second base.
In the top of the fourth, the bases would be loaded for the Bobcats again.
Senior Ben Gibson (Sagamore Beach, Massachusetts) would get things going with a leadoff single.
Marrero and Lutz would both reach base again (Marrero walk, Lutz bunt single) to load the bases.
Sophomore Evan Vulgamore (Bow, New Hampshire) then stepped to the plate and lifted one over the left field wall for a grand slam.
The grand slam was Vulgamore's first home run of the season and third of the year for the Bobcats.
Quinnipiac would later hit its fourth home run of the 2018 season when Andre Marrero hit a solo shot to leadoff the 9th inning, his first homer on the campaign.
Graduate student Brandon Shileikis (North Dighton, Massachusetts) pitched six innings, allowing only two runs on four hits. He also had seven strikeouts in the victory.
Seniors Chris Enns (Canton, Connecticut) and Mike DellaMedaglia (Somers, New York) would combine to pitch the 7th and 8th innings. They allowed one run on two hits and three walks.
Senior Mike Davis (Sandy Hook, Connecticut) pitched the final frame for the Bobcats. He put together a 1-2-3 inning with a pair of punch-outs.
