VMI enters the weekend series on a high note after defeating George Washington University 8-1 Wednesday. Red-shirt freshman Trey Morgan had three hits and reached base safely in all five of his at bats. Red-shirt senior Jacob Menders started on the hill and needed just 47 pitches to get through four scoreless innings, allowing four hits, no walks with two strikeouts. Red-shirt freshman Tyler Bradt followed Menders with two scoreless frames, giving up just one hit.  Callen Nuccio had two hits including a double. Will Knight was 2-5 with a walk and scored twice, and Cole Garrett and Zac Morris also had two hits.

The Bucs are 10-6 on the season, falling 9-6 at 10th-ranked Tennessee Tuesday in 10 innings.

VMI took two of three games in Lexington the last time the two teams met, April 5-7, 2019. Head coach Jonathan Hadra earned his 100th career win in the Sunday contest in a 6-0 Keydet victory.
