Chris Kilgore retired the side in the top of the first inning leaving the door open for the Thomas Jefferson Colonials to take a lead in the bottom of the first. J.B. Vande Sand led off with a single to left field and Tom Rudelius worked a walk from the Warhawks starting pitcher, Ted Williams. A wild pitch later, the Colonials had runners primed to score on second base and third base with no outs. Two grounders back to the mound and an inning ending strikeout ended the Colonial threat. The Warhawks responded by scoring two runs in the second, three runs in the third, and four runs in the fourth. Their streak--going for five runs in the fifth inning-- was denied by the Colonial’s relief pitcher, freshman Patrick Still, whose wicked curve ball was primarily responsible for retiring the Warhawks side in the top of the fifth inning. Patrick went on to pitch two more hitless and scoreless innings to complete the game on the mound for the Colonials. Beau Pritchett and Alex Radcliffe also had hits for Thomas Jefferson in the game.
