After scoring just a run in Saturday morning's game against Piedmont, it didn't take long for Mary Washington baseball's bats to wake up in Saturday's second game -- this time against Ferrum -- in a 12-0 drubbing of the Panthers in Kodak, Tenn. 

The Eagles' pitching staff, which got an excellent start from Jackson Myers (four innings, three strikeouts), Ryan Northup, Griffin Graham and Jamie Kotula, combined to record UMW's first shutout in nearly two years. On March 4, 2022, the Eagles blanked Gwynedd Mercy in Myrtle Beach, S.C. Ironically enough, Graham recorded the save in that game.

And on Saturday, Graham recorded four outs before handing the baseball to Kotula to close the game out in the ninth. Northup, who picked up his first victory of the season after relieving Myers in the fifth, pitched 2 and 2/3 innings, recording four punchouts, while surrendering just one base hit. In his six innings so far this season, Northup has yet to yield a run.

On offense, the Eagles recorded 11 hits and seven walks, using timely hitting and bases-loaded walks to run up the score against Ferrum. In the third, the Eagles' offense awoke as they scored six runs before taking on one more in the seventh, three in the eighth, and one more in the ninth.

Ryan Schwarz, Bobby Ayscue, and Ty Lowe each record a multi-hit game, while A.J. Poole, George Rizzo, Tommy Martinez, Mike Dennis, and Jacob Christenbury each recorded a knock each.

Mary Washington is back in action on Sunday afternoon with one final matchup in Kodak, Tenn. against N.C. Weslyean at 1:30 p.m.
