WASHINGTON, Pa. -- Jared Baird went the distance in game one and three pitchers combined to allow two hits in the second game as W&J swept Bethany at Ross Memorial Park.

The Presidents improve to 14-6 on the season and 6-3 in the Presidents' Athletic Conference with the twinbill sweep originally scheduled to be played at Bethany, but moved to Washington due to rain. Because of that, the Bison served as the home team for both games.

Washington & Jefferson won the first game, 4-1, before recording 11 hits in a 9-2 triumph to complete the doubleheader and season sweep of the Bison.

Baird tossed 7.0 innings of six-hit baseball, giving up just one run and striking out seven, improving to 2-2 on the season in the opener.

Washington & Jefferson got on the board with a run on the top of the third inning and added another on an RBI single by Nelson McKown in the top of the fourth. The Bison answered with their lone run in the bottom of the fourth.

In the top of the seventh, W&J added two insurance run on a squeeze bunt by Ryan Sciullo that brought home Nick Morton and then an RBI single by Gannon Rooney that scored Derek Helbing, 4-1.

Kyle Smith finished 2-for-3 with a double. Helbing was 2-for-2, Sciullo drove in two runs and Morton scored two more.

Three Presidents recorded multi-hit games in the nightcap, led by Jake Gordon who had a 3-for-3 showing. Cory Bauer finished 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles, three RBI and a run scored and Rooney went 2-for-4 with his second homer on the year, three RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base. Smith also ended the contest 2-for-3 with a pair of runs scored.

Bauer's bases-clearing double in the top of the second inning gave W&J an early 3-0 lead that it wouldn't look back from. Leading 5-1 in the fourth, the Presidents added on four more runs thanks to a two-run single by Rooney and base knock by Nick Vento.

Riley Groves went the first five innings of game two, surrendering both hits and two earned runs with two strikeouts to improve his team-leading record to 5-1. Alex Carr and Tim Mulvey each worked 1.0 innings and faced three batters.

W&J is scheduled to be back in action with a PAC doubleheader at Saint Vincent on Saturday, April 11 starting at 1 p.m.
