NCAA Box Score

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. -- Ferrum College topped the University of Mary Washington 7-3 on the road this afternoon in non-conference baseball action.

Ferrum trailed 2-0 after four innings, but scored two runs in the fifth and four in the sixth to forge ahead 6-3 after six full frames.  Jason Parker doubled down the left field line in the top of the sixth to drive in two runs, including the eventual game-winner.  Parker went 2-4 this afternoon with a double, two runs and two RB.

Justin Franklin went 3-5 with a double, two RBI and run, while Daniel Alvarez went 2-4 with a double and a run.  Peter Byron also had a pair of base hits, going 2-3 with a run and an RBI, and was hit by a pitch.

Starter Jon Wilson improved to 4-1 this season, pitching seven innings.  Wilson allowed seven hits three runs (one earned), walked one and struck out two.  Michael Baskeyfield was credited with the save, pitching the final two innings and allowing no runs or hits.
