Pinch-hitter Matthieu Robert knocked in the go-ahead run in the bottom of the eighth inning, while Eddie Muhl pitched a scoreless ninth, as the George Washington Colonials denied the Fordham Rams of a series sweep, 2-1, at Tucker Field at Barcroft Park in Arlington, Virginia.
 
With the loss, Fordham moves to 15-22 on the year, 6-6 in the Atlantic 10, while the Colonials improved to 23-12, 10-4 in the league.
 
Fordham opened the scoring in the second, when Ian Edmiston doubled to left, moved to third on a fly out, and scored on a single by Joseph DeVito.
 
The Rams thought they had a 2-0 lead in the seventh inning.  DeVito connected on a two-out double to right center, which was followed by a single to center by Jason Lundy, but the umpire called DeVito out at the plate on the throw from centerfield.
 
The Colonials then knotted the game at one in the bottom of the seventh.  After a single and a sacrifice bunt, Andrew Selby singled to right, scoring Bobby Campbell.  On the play, Mark Donadio overran the ball, allowing Selby to reach third, which ended Fordham starter Ben Greenberg's day.  Reliever Joseph Serrapica ended the Colonial rally with back-to-back strikeouts to keep the game tied at one.

George Washington then took a 2-1 lead in the eighth.  With runners at first and second and one out, pinch-hitter Matthieu Robert connected on a single to right, scoring Eli Kashi from second.
 
The Rams threatened to tie the game in the ninth, as Edmiston lined a single up the middle to leadoff the frame, followed by a sacrifice bunt by Ryan McNally.  DeVito then hit a hot shot to the left side, but Cody Bryant, a defensive replacement in the ninth, made a diving stab and throw to get DeVito at first for the second out.  Lundy then grounded out to second to end the game.
 
Serrapica (1-1) took the loss, allowing one run on three hits with three strikeouts in 1.2 innings of relief.  Greenberg went the first 6.1 innings, giving up one run on four hits with three strikeouts.
 
At the plate, Edmiston was 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored, while DeVito was 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI.
 
The Fordham baseball team will next be in action on Tuesday, April 21st, as they travel to Fairfield for a 3:30 PM contest.
