Baseball: College sweeps Richmond, continues winning-streak
It took a come-from-behind effort to overcome the University of Richmond on Wednesday. The Tribe (10-15, 3-4 CAA) completed the sweep of the home-and-home series with the Spiders (13-9, 3-3 A-10) with a 9-7 victory in Richmond. In Tuesday’s matchup at Plumeri Park, the Tribe’s pitching led the squad to victory. Five hurlers allowed just one hit total en route to a 6-1 victory. Senior shortstop Lanny Stanfield led the College at the plate, going 4-for-7 with two runs and an RBI. A day later, freshman Tadd Bower broke a 7-7 tie in the ninth inning, leading off with his first career home run. The Tribe travels to Northeastern University this weekend.
