BETHESDA, Md. (Interstat) — George Mason scored early and often, defeating Georgetown 12-7 on Saturday afternoon at Shirley Povich Field to even their weekend series.

The Patriots pounded out 13 hits and capitalized on three Hoyas errors. Julius Bagnerise drove in three runs, including two on sacrifice flies, and Evan Blanchard added a two-run single in a decisive four-run sixth inning.

Georgetown center fielder Jackson Thomas provided a highlight with a three-run homer in the sixth, finishing with four RBIs. The Hoyas out-hit George Mason 12-13 but could not overcome early deficits.

George Mason starter Logan Rumberg earned the win, allowing two earned runs over four innings. Georgetown starter Trajan Lee took the loss, surrendering five earned runs in 5 2/3 innings.

The Patriots improved to 6-6. The Hoyas fell to 9-6. The teams conclude the series Sunday.
