The number 13 didn't prove to be unlucky at all for the Mary Washington College baseball team.

The Eagles won their 13th straight game with a 5-3 nonconference victory over visiting Villa Julie yesterday.

MWC's Sean Townsend drove in the game winner with a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the eighth inning. The Eagles added an insurance run later in the same at-bat when Aaron Altscher drove in Jay Quintana with an RBI single.

Brendan Orsinger picked up the victory on the mound, striking out eight while allowing just five hits in a complete-game performance.

Altscher finished with four hits, all singles, in four trips to the plate. Quintana finished with two RBIs, both coming on a third-inning single.

MWC (18-4) will visit Bridgewater College today at 3 p.m. in a key regional contest.
