RICHMOND, VA—Virginia Commonwealth University rallied for
a seven run sixth inning on the way to a 12-0 win over

a single and a double to lead the Yellow Jackets against the NCAA

Walton (Mechanicsville, VA/ Lee-Davis) but could not push across a
run.
John Lenherr broke a scoreless tie in the second with a solo
homerun to right for VCU. Doug Otto put the Rams up 2-0 with an RBI
single in the third.
The Yellow Jackets were down just 2-0 in the sixth before the
Rams scored seven runs on eight hits to break the game open. VCU
tacked on one run in the seventh and two in the eighth for the 12-0
win.
R-MC starter James Bierlein (Chesterfield, VA/ Matoaca) is stuck
with loss after giving up two runs on six hits and striking out
two.

innings and giving up two hits.
