ARLINGTON, Va. - Junior Ryan Xepoleas extended his current hit streak to eight straight games but the George Washington baseball team was defeated by visiting Georgetown, 6-2, on Tuesday afternoon at Barcroft Park.
Xepoleas extended his hit streak with an RBI single in the bottom of the sixth inning and added his second triple of the season in the bottom of the ninth to lead the Colonials at the plate. Freshman Jon Steele also recorded two hits, finishing 2-for-3 on the day.
Georgetown (12-13) took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning by taking advantage of an error and a passed ball before adding a pair of runs in the second inning for a 3-0 lead.
After a scoreless third inning, the Hoyas struck again for two runs in the top of the fourth on an RBI single and sacrifice fly.
GW (7-17) got on the board in the bottom of the sixth inning when freshman Bobby Campbell hit a one-out double and scored on Xepoleas' base hit, making the score 5-1.
Georgetown added a run in the ninth on a wild pitch to extend the lead to 6-1 before Xepoleas hit a one-out triple to the gap in right-center field and later scored on a groundout by senior Colin Milon in the bottom half of the inning.
GW will visit No. 2 Virginia on Wednesday afternoon. First pitch from Davenport Field is scheduled for 5 p.m.
