WASHINGTON – Following a thrilling series win last weekend at Rhode Island, the George Washington baseball team is set to play four games over the next five days. The Buff & Blue kick off the week with a matchup against VMI on Wednesday, battling the Keydets at 6:00 p.m. in Lexington, Va. Over the weekend, the GW Revs welcome fellow DMV foe George Mason for a three-game A-10 series beginning on Friday. Games on Wednesday and Friday will be available to stream on ESPN+, while live stats will be available for all four games as well.
The Buff & Blue enter the week 12-11 after a thrilling three-game series at Rhode Island last weekend. After dropping the series opener, GW bounced back for two come-from-behind wins against the Rams to capture the team's first series win of the conference slate. Sunday's victory was highlighted by an improbable comeback in the ninth inning that saw GW score four runs with two outs to take a 10-9 lead and stun the Rams. Jude Clough delivered the go-ahead hit, a bases-clearing double that scored three runs and put the Revolutionaries on top for good.
Saturday's game against the Patriots will serve as GW's Youth Day at Tucker Field. All fans aged 12 and under can run the bases and receive autographs from GW players and coaches. Admission and parking are free to all fans for the entire 2025 season.
