ASHLAND, VA - Three St. Mary's pitchers combined to hold

striking out a pair. Greg Weidner surrendered one run on two hits
in three innings of work, while Barrett Enix closed the game out
with one inning of relief.
Leading 1-0 in the top-half of the fifth inning, St. Mary's took
advantage of two R-MC errors to score three runs and extend its
lead to 4-0. R-MC got its lone run of the game in the eighth inning
when Jeff Beck singled home Greg Meleski, cutting the Seahawk lead
to 4-1. SMC responded in its next at bat, scoring three runs to put
the game away.
Charlie Hartt (0-2) took the loss for the Jackets after starting
the game on the mound, tossing 4.2 innings, allowing six hits and
four runs, only one of which was earned.
