George Mason 26 Northeastern 9

The George Mason baseball team had a season-high for runs and hits as the Patriots used a 10-run fifth inning and an eight-run sixth inning to cruise to a 26-9 win over Northeastern on Sunday, taking the rubber-match in the three-game series. Mason, in the midst of 14 straight games at home, played as the visitor over the weekend as the series had originally been scheduled to be played in Boston, but was moved due to inclement weather.

Dan Gerjets earned the win for Mason, improving to 3-0 on the year. He struck out a career high eight while walking one batter but Mason’s big fifth and sixth innings, when they scored a total of 18 runs, took him out of his rhythm and he didn’t make it out of the sixth. Justin Bour finished the game 4 for 5 with seven RBI, four runs as he hit a pair of homers. Ryan Uphouse was 3 for 6 with four RBI while Chris Henderson was 3 for 3 with three runs and three RBI. The Patriots had 19 hits and are now 9-11, 6-2 on the year. Northeastern is 8-8, 2-4.
