LAST TIME OUT
The Revolutionaries dropped three contests over the weekend to Richmond in A-10 action. GW now holds a 20-15 overall mark on the season and a 4-5 record in the A-10, which ranks sixth in the conference. Against the Spiders, Sam Gates led the way with five hits over the weekend, finishing 5-for-13 from the plate and tallying two RBI. Teddy Brennan paced GW on the mound, tossing seven scoreless innings on Saturday in a no-decision. Brennan registered six strikeouts and only allowed five hits in his stellar outing. Despite not earning the win, Brennan continues to shine this season with a team-low 2.82 ERA in 44.2 total innings pitched. He leads the team in strikeouts with 52 and holds opposing batters to a .233 average.
