ADRIAN, Mich. – After winning its opening game of the 2025 NCAA Tournament, the RV Washington University in St. Louis baseball team dropped a pair of games to No. 2 Wisconsin-Whitewater and regional host Adrian on Saturday to conclude their 2025 season.

Game 1: UWW 4, WashU 3 (11 inn.)

Scoring was at a premium early in the first game of the day for WashU.

UWW got on the board first in the bottom of the third inning. The Warhawks used a hit batter and a walk to get runners on before a double put them ahead 2-0. A single then allowed UWW to take a 3-0 lead after three.

The Bears began their comeback in the sixth inning when graduate student Noah Reichman led off with a single through the right side. Fellow graduate Will Yarbro followed with a walk. Then with one out, senior Braden Mazone singled through the left side to load the bases. The third WashU hit of the inning came from junior Shane Pellegrino, who collected two RBIs and cut the Bears' deficit down to just one, 3-2.

When it seemed that UWW would be able to escape in nine innings, first-year student Cooper Greene launched his second home run of the season over the fence in right field to tie the game and send the contest into extra innings.

A scoreless 10th inning then led the Warhawks to the bottom of the 11th. WashU was able to induce a groundout and strikeout before UWW earned a walk. They then followed with a double to right that allowed the runner to score from first for the 4-3 win.

Sophomore Anthony Equale led the Bears at the plate, going three-for-four while Reichman went three-for-five with a run scored. As a team, WashU was able to turn three double plays during the game.

Junior Miles Quemuel-Labrador took the loss, pitching the final 4.2 innings and striking out three.

Game 2: Adrian 7, WashU 3

Having to play back-to-back games can be tough, but WashU got things started quickly against Adrian.

With one out in the bottom of the first, graduate student Colter Couillard-Rodak singled through the left side before Reichman doubled to right-center field, scoring the Bears' first run, 1-0. The Bulldogs then took the lead, scoring a single run in both the second and third innings.

The fourth and fifth innings belonged to the Bears as graduate student Will Yarbro led off the fourth with a double to left and scored when first-year student Ryan Soong hit a single up the middle to tie the game at 2-2. WashU loaded the bases with just one out before Adrian got a pair of outs.

Then, with one out in the bottom of the fifth, Couillard-Rodak hit a triple to right and then scored when Reichman safely reached first on a fielder's choice. The run gave the Bears a 3-2 advantage.

Unfortunately, that was the final run of the season as the regional host went on to score at least one run in each of the final four innings to close the Bears' season with a 7-3 win over WashU.

Couillard-Rodak went three-for-five at the plate in his final game while also scoring twice. Reichman went two-for-four with a pair of RBIs after leading the Bears this season at the plate.

Senior Sebastian Guzman took the loss, pitching the fifth and sixth innings.

WashU closes out the 2025 season with a 26-17 overall record and 10-10 in the UAA. The Bears, who played their first 24 games at home, finished with a 20-8 record at Kelly Field at Irv Utz Stadium this season.
