Plumeri Park Live Stats TribeAthletics.com Video: Tribe Athletics TV W&M NEWS AND NOTES The Tribe (0-3) is looking for its first win after falling in three close games at No. 12 Clemson during opening weekend. Each contest ended in a one-run decision. Junior Zach Pearson highlighted the offensive production after hitting.364 (4-for-11) with two doubles and two RBI. Junior Bodie Sheehan also went seven strong innings with four strikeouts and an earned run on three hits in his Friday start. W&M and VCU will meet for the 97th time in series history on Tuesday. The Rams own a all-time series lead against the Tribe. Last year, the Green and Gold held VCU to just three hits in claiming a 5-1 road win. The triumph snapped a three-game sked against the Rams. W&M and Maryland will face off for the 30th time in series history on Wednesday. The Terrapins boasts an all-time series lead over the Tribe. W&M dropped both games against the Terrapins last year. The last time the Tribe topped UM was in After making a pair of appearances last weekend, senior Charlie Fletcher moved to seventh (77) all-time in school history. His next appearance will tie him for fifth in the record books. Six of the Tribe s 10 newcomers saw action in the weekend opener. Jacob Haney headlined the group with his Sunday start. Despite getting taxed with the loss, he fanned four batted and allowed two runs (both earned) on two hits in four innings. Matt McDermott also doubled in his first at bat. Senior Ryan Hall and junior Hunter Smith both blasted their first home run of the season over the weekend. Hall launched a three-run jack in the opener and Smith knocked a solo shot in game two. Additionally, sophomore Patrick Ryan and Pearson are riding a three-game hitting streak. Hall and Pearson both tied 12th in program history with two doubles in a game. Pearson hit just two doubles last season, while Hall led the team in the category. Furthermore, W&M is second-best in the conference in doubles (6).

(second season) Brian Murphy was named head coach of the Tribe baseball program on Dec. 3, 2013, and enters his fifth season as the Tribe's head coach. It will be his sixth season in Williamsburg, after spending one season as the Tribe's top assistant coach. The former one-year assistant guided the Green and Gold to three 30-plus win seasons, a NCAA Regional Final appearances and a Colonial Athletic Association Tournament bid each season in his first four years as the skipper. Before his promotion, Murphy helped the Tribe earn its first-ever NCAA Tournament at-large bid and win its first regional games in school history on the strength of a record-23730setting 39-win season in He made a seamless transition to head coach the following year as W&M secured its first-ever regular season conference title, culminating in CAA Coach of the Year honors. A couple seasons later, W&M captured its first CAA tournament championship since 2001 en route to reaching the NCAA Regional Final for the second time in a four-year span. In 2017, a third-place finish in the CAA standings allowed W&M to make its fifth consecutive postseason appearance, which is a program-best since qualifying started for the CAA Baseball Tournament. Murphy secured his 100th career victory mid-way through the season after the Tribe edged conference rival UNCW, 10-9, on March 26. At the end of the regular season, the Green and Gold landed five players on the all-conference teams, highlighted by junior Cullen Large receiving All-CAA First Team accolades. Senior Ryder Miconi, who was tabbed All-CAA Third Team, continued to excel in the classroom as he repeated as CAA Scholar Athlete of the Year. In addition, All-CAA second teamer Brandon Raquet was named to Collegiate Baseball s Freshman All-American Team. Murphy also helped produced a draft class of at least three W&M players for the fifth time in program history. Redshirt sophomore Nick Raquet became the third-highest all-time MLB draft pick by getting selected in the third round by the Washington Nationals, Large was chosen in the fifth round by the Toronto Blue Jays and senior Nick Brown was picked by the Minnesota Twins in the 32nd round. It was the second time in program history that two players were taken inside the first five rounds of the MLB Draft. The 2016 season will go down as one of the most memorable seasons in program history. Down 8-1 in what looked like its final at-bat of the season, the Tribe answered with seven runs in the ninth and sparked a two-week run for the ages. Following a 27-hour rain delay, W&M went onto win the first CAA Championship game in 12 innings, before senior Josh Smith s grand-slam homer in the bottom of the eighth inning lifted them to the CAA Tournament crown and automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. In the NCAA Regional, the Tribe, which fell in its first game, knocked out Bryant and defending national champion Virginia on its way to its second Regional Final in four seasons. When all was said and done the Green and Gold won six elimination games against Northeastern, College of Charleston, UNCW (twice), Bryant, and Virginia. For his efforts, Murphy was named VaSID Coach of the Year. Individually, he helped lead six Tribe players to all-conference awards, including senior Charley Gould, junior Ryder Miconi, and sophomore Ryan Hall, who were named to the second team. Miconi was rewarded for his hard work in the classroom by being named the CAA Scholar Athlete of the Year. Gould became the 35th player in school history to be drafted when the Oakland Athletics drafted him in the 26th round. It was the fifth straight season that the Tribe had a player selected in the MLB Draft. Throughout his stint in the W&M dugout, Murphy has mentored a total of nine MLB Draft picks, two national award semifinalists and 22 all-conference players. Michael Katz ( ), who garnered multiple All-American honors, was tabbed a Golden Spikes Award semifinalist in Additionally, Katz and Charley Gould ( ) were just two of three players in program history to become Dick Howser Trophy semifinalists, representing W&M on the prestigious list in back-to-back years ( 14 & 15). Murphy also helped develop a quartet of record-setting athletes. Under his watch, three pitching records were shattered as John Farrell ( ) set a new single-season wins standard (11), Jason Inghram ( ) replaced the school s all-time wins mark (26) and Joseph Gaouette ( ) broke the career saves record (18).
