HARRISONBURG, Va. – Six James Madison baseball players tallied multiple hits in the dominate 15-3 Colonial Athletic Association win over William and Mary at Eagle Field on Friday night.
Â
The Dukes (17-16, 3-7 CAA) opened the ball game with a four run first inning, while keeping the Tribe (14-21, 3-7 CAA) scoreless until the fifth inning.
Â
Freshman Josh Jones paced JMU at the plate with a 4-for-6 performance, hitting his first home run in a three-run shot over the left field wall in the sixth inning. Jones added two runs scored and career-high four RBI.
Â
Sophomore Fox Semones went 2-for-5 with three runs scored, two RBI, a walk and a home run, his fifth of the season. Freshman Michael Morgan added a perfect 3-for-3 performance with a run scored and a RBI. Sophomore Harry Brown and seniors Bradley McKay and Zach Tondi all racked up two hits in the contest.
Â
On the mound, senior Colton Harlow earned the win to improve to 3-3 on the season after throwing 5.2 innings with four strikeouts, giving up two runs on seven hits. Junior Matt Marsili notched his first save of the season, tallying 3.1 innings pitched with a season-high tying five strikeouts and allowed one run on four hits.
Â
A double by Jones, a single by Morgan and a double by McKay allowed four runs to score for the Dukes in the first inning. In the sixth, Jones hit his three-run home run, then McKay knocked a RBI single through the left side which posted the Dukes' second four-run inning of the game.
Â
JMU plated its final three runs in the eighth, as Tondi hit a RBI single before freshman Hunter Johnson scored on a wild pitch. McKay scored the Dukes' final run off a ground ball to second base.
Â
QUOTING COACH IKE
"We were really aggressive today swinging the bat and I was proud of how our guys kept competing tonight. Harlow did an outstanding job tonight and he battled into the sixth inning which is what you want out of your starter on a Friday night."
