Box Score

RICHMOND, Va. - Sophomore Brian O'Keefe was 3-for-4 but the Saint Joseph's baseball team fell at VCU on Saturday afternoon by a 3-2 score. Senior Greg Kumpel also had a pair of hits for the Hawks.

For the second straight day, VCU (4-0) scored a run in the first inning, as an error allowed Bill Cullen to score the game's first run.

Saint Joseph's (2-3) answered in the top half of the second as a two-out single by Anthony Cirillo scored Stefan Kancylarz with the tying run.

The Rams nosed in front once again in the fourth on an RBI groundout by Trevor Marino. VCU then loaded the bases with two outs, but Hawk starter Jordan Carter induced a pop fly to escape the jam.

The Hawks leveled the game a second time in the fifth as Chris Hueth hit a sacrifice fly to score Kumpel and knot the affair at two apiece.

It remained a 2-2 game until the seventh, when Landon Prentiss ripped a two-out double that plated Vimael Machin with what proved to be the winning run.

Carter allowed eight hits but just the two runs in five innings, striking out two and walking one. Kevin Burum took the loss, allowing a run and notching four strikeouts in two innings to fall to 1-1. Steven Schuler worked a scoreless eighth for SJU.
