The Washington & Jefferson baseball team split a pair of games Saturday in the NCAA Division III tournament during regional play in Dallas, Pa.
The Presidents won an early game, scoring a season-high for runs in an 18-9 victory over Keystone. The Presidents then played host Misericordia in an elimination game later in the day. Misericordia used a four-run ninth inning to oust the Presidents, 12-8.
W&J, which ends the season with a 32-14 record, broke open a close game against Keystone by scoring six runs in the sixth inning for a 16-9 lead. The 18 runs were the most ever scored by a W&J team in an NCAA tournament game.
Trevor Dean hit a three-run homer in the inning and finished with a team-high four RBI.
W&J took advantage of 12 walks and five hit batsmen by Keystone pitching.
Against Misericordia, Evan Sante reached base safely four times and had three RBI.
