PITTSBURGH, PA - After pulling off two dramatic come-from-behind victories against Richmond last weekend, the George Washington University baseball team heads into its final three-game conference series, beginning Thursday at Duquesne, one game out of the sixth and final spot of the Atlantic 10 Championship Tournament.
In order to advance to their eighth consecutive A-10 Tournament, the Colonials need to win one more game than Fordham who faces Charlotte in its final regular season series.
