PROCTOR -- Six consecutive Rails batters scored in the bottom of the third inning as Proctor defeated Virginia in a non-conference baseball game Monday. In the third inning, Reed Olson (Sr., OF) drew a bases-loaded walk, and Ryan McCarthy (Soph., 1B) and Pat Everson (Jr., 3B) connected for back-to-back two-run hits.
