Score: Richmond 7, VCU 0
Location: Richmond, Va. (Pitt Field)

The short story: Richmond's Brock Weirather threw a complete game shutout as the Spiders took the first game of a three-game conference set Friday afternoon.
 
FIRST PITCH
  • VCU outhit the Spiders 8-7
  • Sophomore left-hander Campbell Ellis started on the mound for the Rams, throwing 4.0 scoreless and hitless innings, striking out three batters and walking just one.
  • Redshirt junior right fielder Logan Amiss went 3-for-4 with a double.
  • Ben Nippolt, Tyler Locklear, Connor Hujsak, Devan Barnett, and Jesse Robinson each collected a hit.
  • Weirather scattered eight hits across nine scoreless innings and struck out eight.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • VCU had five hits through the first three innings, but left three runners on base.
  • The Spiders did not have a hit until the sixth inning, when they strung five hits together in addition to a VCU error to score five runs.
  • Solo home runs in the seventh and eighth innings extended the Richmond lead to 7-0.
 
NOTABLE
  • Locklear extended his reached base streak to 15 straight games, and has hits in five consecutive contests.
