Trailing 9-8 with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Steven Gallagher walked and came around to score thanks to a double by Matt Howard. David Larson then drew a walk before Patterson ended the game.
Sydney Packard and Lea Strangio jumpstarted Women’s Outdoor Track & Field’s season with impressive 800-meter run performances Saturday at Georgia Tech's Yellow Jacket Invitational. Packard broke up a quartet from Florida State with a new school record, and second-place, time of 2:09.34. It is the second time in three outdoor races the sophomore reset the WPI standard. Strangio, meanwhile, finished eighth in a time of 2:14.09, the senior's best to start a campaign. While very early in the season, the duo is ahead of the 167 performances already reported as of Saturday afternoon.
