Colonials and Hawks play single-game Saturday, doubleheader Sunday
WASHINGTON - Winners of five straight, GW baseball will entertain Saint Joseph's at Tucker Field at Barcroft Park this weekend in a non-conference series. Saturday features a single game at 2 p.m. followed by a doubleheader on Sunday beginning at noon.
All three games will be nine innings and Saturday's game will be streamed on ESPN+. Fan attendance at Barcroft Park is prohibited this season as part of the waiver granted by the District of Columbia to GW to host Athletics events this year.
RECORD START: GW is 5-1 for the first time since 2008 and riding a five-game winning streak for the first time since 2019. The Buff & Blue last won six in a row twice during the 2018 season (March 31 - April 8 and March 17-28). The Colonials are tied for second in the league in wins, one behind VCU (6), who has played six more games.
THAT'S HIGH PRAISE: GW enters the week with the A-10's best batting average at .298, a mark that ranks 37th nationally. Individually, Noah Levin (.455) and Steve Barmakian (.400) rank sixth and 10th, respectively. The Buff & Blue pitching staff is also second in the circuit with 11.4 strikeouts per nine innings, ranking 28th in the nation.
ABOUT THE HAWKS: St. Joe's opened its season on Wednesday with a 12-3 victory over Towson thanks to five home runs, two of which came from Luca Trigiani. The Hawks, who went 5-10 in last year's abbreviated season, were projected to finish ninth in the A-10 preseason poll, a spot below the Colonials. The two teams last met in 2019 with SJU taking two of three. GW has a 32-20 all-time edge against the Hawks.
Feb. 9, 2021 marked the 200th anniversary of the U.S. Congress' establishment of The George Washington University's charter. GW Athletics is proud to be part of the university's bicentennial celebration, honoring the historic milestone with a variety of initiatives meant to highlight the best of the Buff and Blue.

Sam Perlozzo was GW's baseball MVP in 1972 when he led the team in hitting with a .345 average, let the nation in stolen bases and was named an Academic All-American. He played professional baseball in the Minnesota Twins organization, making it to the big leagues with the Twins in 1977 and the San Diego Padres in 1979. He then served as a coach for 25 years in the majors, including serving as manager of the Baltimore Orioles from 2005-07.
