Final Stats

BOCA RATON, Fla. - The George Washington baseball team held a 2-1 lead in the final inning of the game but Florida Atlantic scored twice in the bottom of the ninth inning to steal a 3-2 win in Sunday's series finale.

Key Stats

Junior Isaiah Pasteur hit a leadoff home run on the very first pitch of the ball game to give GW its first lead of the series, 1-0.
Pasteur (2-for-4, HR, RBI) and senior Mark Osis (2-for-4, 2B) both tallied multi-hit games for the Colonials.
Junior Nathan Woods was solid in his first start as a Colonial. The right hander from Texas provided a quality start by allowing an unearned run on three hits over 6.1 innings. He walked two and struck out four.
Junior Will Kobos threw 1.2 innings of scoreless relief with one walk and one strikeout.

Scoring
Pasteur drove the first pitch of the ball game over the left field wall to put GW ahead, 1-0. It was his sixth collegiate home run after hitting five round trippers as a freshman at Indiana in 2015.
GW got consecutive singles from Osis and junior Dominic D'Alessandro to lead off the fourth inning. Senior Robbie Metz followed with a RBI single to give the Colonials a 2-0 lead.
FAU got two runners on via errors in the bottom of the seventh and then scored its first run on a sacrifice fly to cut GW's lead to 2-1.
The Owls got two runners on in the bottom of the ninth on a leadoff single and a one-out walk. A passed ball moved the runners up to second and third and both came in to score on a base hit/fielding error combo.

Up Next
GW returns to Florida next weekend to open a three-game set at Stetson in DeLand. First pitch on Friday is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
