Skyhawks Drop Game One of Four-Game Set at VMI

LEXINGTON, Va. (February 27, 2026) – The Stonehill College baseball team dropped its series opener to Virginia Military Institute, 8-2, Friday afternoon in Lexington, Virginia. With the result, the Skyhawks fell to 0-8 overall, while the Keydets improved to 8-1 on the season.
 
Highlights
  • Senior Sean McGee paced the offense, notching his second straight multi-hit performance after going 2-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored, and two RBI.
  • Graduate student Sam Parks and junior Cam Morrison each recorded their first doubles of the season, while junior Nick Lundquist tallied his first multi-hit game as a Skyhawk.
  • Junior Ryan LeClair drew two walks, extending his team-best on-base streak to four consecutive games.
  • Senior Jimmy Gilleran earned the start on the mound, tossing 4.1 innings and allowing two runs on five hits while striking out four.
  • Sophomore Jack Welsch was charged with the loss but fanned a season-high three batters over 1.2 innings of relief.
 
How It Happened
Following two scoreless innings to open the game — during which Stonehill starter Gilleran and VMI's Peyton Dhein combined to strike out five — the Skyhawks broke through in the top of the third with one swing of the bat. After Parks lined his first double of the season into right field, McGee stepped to the plate and launched a two-run homer over the left-centerfield wall to give Stonehill a 2-0 advantage.

VMI answered in the bottom of the fifth, plating three runs to take their first lead of the game. A sacrifice fly from Max Perry and a two-run blast by Cole Cook highlighted the inning and put VMI in front. The Keydets added two more runs in the sixth and three in the seventh, stretching their lead to six entering the eighth inning.

After VMI extended its advantage, the Skyhawks were unable to chip away at the deficit, ultimately falling by a final score of 8-2.
