FORT MYERS, Fla. – Freshman lefty Kyle Bravin (Washington Township, N.J./Westwood) tossed a complete-game three-hitter in the opening game to help The University of Scranton baseball team split a doubleheader against Washington College on Tuesday on the team's spring break trip.

Bravin's work on the mound led the Royals to a 10-2 victory in the opener. Washington College used a 10-run fourth inning to win the second game, 10-5.

First game – Scranton 10, Washington College 2 – box score

Bravin allowed two unearned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out seven. He picked up his first career victory while making his first career start.

Scranton (7-4) scored three in the bottom of the first before Washington College (6-7) came back with two in the fourth. But the Royals took control with three in the fifth and four in the sixth.

Freshman first baseman Kevin Haag (Ossining, N.Y./Ossining/Bridgton Academy) led the offense, going 4-for-4 with four RBIs and two runs scored.
