Hempstead, NY - William & Mary starter Matt Davenport scattered five hits and struck out 12 in a complete game shutout victory over Hofstra, 11-0, in the second game of a doubleheader at University Field. Hofstra had won game one, 10-9, in 11 innings.

The Tribe improved to 31-24, 12-17 in the CAA with the win, while Hofstra slipped to 32-20, 19-10 in league action. The game had no postseason implications for the Pride, which had clinched the second seed in the upcoming CAA Championship in game one. But William & Mary needed to win and get some help to keep its playoff hopes alive. While the Tribe did their part, Towson's win over James Madison eliminated William & Mary from contention for the sixth seed.

The Tribe chased Hofstra starter John Tiedemann (7-4) after just 1 1/3 innings. The junior allowed three hits and five runs. Ryan Lindemuth provided all the offense that W&M would need with a two-run home run in the first. Lindemuth would finish 3-for-4 with three RBIs and three runs scored on the day. William & Mary would add three runs in the second, two in the fourth and fifth and single runs in the sixth and seventh.

Davenport (7-5) needed just 102 pitches to post the first shutout of the Pride this season. Matt Ford had two of Hofstra's five hits on the day.

In addition to Lindemuth, Sean Aiken and Michael Katz added three hits for the Tribe.

Hofstra relief pitcher Gregg Lettini was the only Pride hurler to not get scored on as he pitched two innings of one-hit ball to close out the game.

The series concludes Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m.
