WASHINGTON - GW baseball will host its first mid-week contest of the season on Wednesday, entertaining Georgetown at 2:30 p.m. at Tucker Field at Barcroft Park. The game will be streamed live on ESPN+ and admission is free.
ABOUT LAST WEEKEND:Â GW started its seven-game homestand with a series sweep of Saint Peter's, outscoring the Peacocks 36-5 in the three-game set. The Colonials rolled to a doubleheader sweep on Friday, posting consecutive shutouts for the first time in nearly two years. GW then finished off the sweep with a come-from-behind win, 7-5, on Sunday afternoon.
TRANSFER OF POWER:Â The Colonials boast 15 new faces in the program this season, two of which have made an immediate impact at the plate. Junior Greg Anderberg had the game-winning three-run triple on Sunday and continues to lead the team with a .353 average while ranking second with seven RBIs.Â
Sophomore transfer Tyler Hix had a game to remember in the opener Friday against Saint Peter's, going 5-for-6 with three doubles, three runs scored and six RBIs, the most in a game for a Colonial since 2016. Hix's 14 RBIs continue to lead the A-10 and rank 14th nationally.
ON THE BUMP:Â Senior southpaw Pat Knight will get the ball for GW on Wednesday in his first start and second appearance of the campaign. Knight recorded a strikeout in 0.1 innings against Tulane on Feb. 16 in his lone prior outing. Last season, Knight tied for second on the team with 22 appearances and ended up matching the team-high with five victories.
ABOUT THE HOYAS:Â Georgetown enters play with an 0-6 mark following a three-game sweep at the hands of Campbell last weekend in Buies Creek, N.C. Ryan Davis is the team's top hitter at .375 through six games while Eddie McCabe leads the team in hits (8) and RBIs (4).
The Hoyas are GW's most frequent opponent, squaring off 136 times prior to Wednesday with the Buff & Blue owning a 92-43-1 edge in the series. GW won last year's lone meeting, 6-3, behind a grand slam from Matt Cosentino in the seventh inning.
