FAIRFAX, Va. – The Saint Peter's baseball team fell to George Mason, 2-17, here at Spuhler Field on Friday after struggling on the mound throughout the game.

Mike DiForte started at pitcher for Saint Peter's and he let up eight runs over the first three innings which led to a change.
Yash Jain then came in and saw some success right away, pitching a shutout in his first inning. Afterward, it was downhill for the Peacocks as George Mason rattled off nine runs in the bottom of the fifth.
The two runs for Saint Peter's came in the third and fourth innings. In the third,
Garrett Greco singled up the middle as
Ben Williams put the Peacocks on the board. With the bases loaded in the fourth inning, Williams hit a single to bring
Ethan Starks home while advancing
Alex Manent and
