The Colonials' offense collected sixteen hits, including 11 in the first three innings, and GW used eight Georgetown errors to blow-out the Hoyas.
Redshirt freshman Travis Crowder (Manassas, VA/Osbourn) started the Colonials in the first inning with a single to center field. Seniors Ryan Dacey (Annapolis, MD/Annapolis) and Matt Walker (Gibsonia, PA/South Carolina), and sophomore Mike Bassett (Paramus, NJ/Paramus) followed Crowder with consecutive singles to give GW a 3-0 lead.
GW extended their lead to 7-0 by scoring four runs in the second inning. Again, Crowder started the inning with a single to center field, with freshman Tony Dokoupil (Pau Pau, WV/Severna Park), senior Ryan Hauseman (Pottstown, PA/The Hill School) and Dacey adding RBI singles to extend GW's lead.
