Article will include box score, stand out for players, quotes from both head coaches and my general thoughts.
GWU 9-7 UVA (6)
UVA 6-6 GWU (6)
Jackson/Howard at top of UVA lineup impressed.
Pierce Quinn shone on mound for Hoos.
Matt Stuart looked sharp for GWU and Willy Mendez is gonna be a stud.

Fun feature of todays game: @UVABaseball head coach Chris Pollard’s son, @GWUBaseball infielder Brady Pollard, steps in to take his 1st collegiate AB vs outside competition with his dad looking on from the other dugout.
He singles to right, how cool is that?

JUCO transfer Willy Mendez looks like a future All Big South star for @GWUBaseball.
Has an advanced plate approach & has battled back from multiple 0-2 counts to work walks, then lasered a 2B off the wall to regain a 9-7 lead for GWU.
On base all four times so far today.

Zach Jackson and Reid Howard led off the lineup for @UVABaseball today and they’ve been on base all six times with two triples thru the first 5 innings.
A 5-run inning 5th inning sparked by that duo gives the ‘Hoos the lead.
UVA 7
GWU 6
End 5

Mike Elko might be coaching a football game where it just means more but his son, Michael Elko, is hitting go ahead RBI doubles for UVA today
UNC already in midseason form…
First game over here in the Bosh as the Heels win 21-2. Second game coming in 20 minutes.
Note - the reviews about Jamie Laskofski are all accurate. Cycle today at the plate, made plays at second, short and dynamic highlights at third. Just a ball player a really really good one.

Least surprising tweet of the day. Next big UNC star
Christian Lucarelli starts on the mound for the ‘Hoos.
Along with teammates Paone and Yoder, Lucarelli is on my shortlist for breakout sophomores after a strong freshman campaign and impressive small sample size on the Cape this summer.

It’s a beautiful day for baseball. I’m getting my first look at the @UVABaseball roster in Coach Pollard’s 2nd year.
Also excited to see @GWUBaseball and a transfer class that was ranked atop the Big South by @64Analytics.

Just watched Jack slide headfirst down a hill at the Little League World Series.
So happy for Jack, who works as hard as anyone in the industry and is getting rewarded with opportunities.
Pretty surreal to be able to say this…
I’ll be in Williamsport, PA working the 2026 Little League World Series as a reporter for ESPN’s studio show.
To work with the world wide leader in sports is a dream come true. Beyond stoked to get to work!
