Baseball Wraps Up Spring Break Trip with 6-5 Win Over Spiders

By: QU Athletic Communications

RICHMOND, Va. – Arthur Correira (Rehoboth, Massachusetts) recorded his first career win with a quality start Sunday afternoon as he led the Quinnipiac baseball team to a 6-5 victory over the Richmond Spiders to wrap up the Bobcats spring break trip.

Correira struck out a career-high eight batters, including two in each of the first three innings, to pick up the victory as he made his third start of the season.

Evan Vulgamore (Bow, New Hampshire) went 2 for 4 as he recorded multiple hits for the fourth consecutive game. He already has nine doubles on the season while compiling a .356 batting average with 21 hits in 59 at bats.

The Bobcats struck for all six runs from the fourth through six innings, answering a pair of runs from the Spiders in the bottom half of the third inning. Quinnipiac now has five wins on the season, and has won at least one game in every weekend series.
