The GW baseball team ended its season by taking the final two contests of a three-game series at Saint Joseph’s, both by 4-2 scores.
Friday’s win, the first of the pair, came in dramatic fashion for the Colonials (22-33, 11-15 Atlantic 10). Senior Andrew Haberern hit a pinch-hit, ninth-inning grand slam to provide all of GW’s offense for the day and turn what had been a Hawks shutout into a Colonials victory.
The game also marked the final career start for ace pitcher Pat Lehman, who tossed his sixth complete game of the season in 13 starts. He finished the year with a 7-4 record and 2.40 earned run average while tallying career bests in innings pitched (105) and strikeouts (89).
Saturday’s season-ending win again came in the ninth inning, as the Colonials opened a 3-2 lead on an RBI single from senior Chris Marsicano before adding an insurance run when junior Tom Zebroski followed with a double to right field.
