RICHMOND, Va. - Sophomore third baseman Justin Yurchak continued his torrid start to the season with a 4-for-5, 3-RBI game and Binghamton baseball (3-3) plated 15 runs on 14 hits in a 15-0 drubbing of Atlantic 10 member Richmond Sunday afternoon from Pitt Field.

Yurchak finished up a 10-for-13 weekend and raised his season average to .654 with another multi-hit performance. The Bearcats, meanwhile scored runs in six of nine innings, including a four-run fifth inning and a five-run ninth. That was more  than enough offense for a trio of BU pitchers that notched 13 strikeouts in a combined shutout. 

Junior lefty Nick Wegmann (W, 1-1) shut down the Spiders (3-4) on three hits over 5.0 innings. He fanned a career-high nine and struck out the final three hitters he faced before giving way to junior Jacob Wloczewski, who struck out four in his 3.0 innings. Junior Dylan Stock pitched a scoreless ninth to seal the shutout. 

The Bearcats scored single runs in the second and third innings and then broke the game open with four runs on just two hits in the fifth. Yurchak had an RBI double - his second of the game - in the frame. In the sixth inning, senior left fielder Darian Herncane belted a two-run home run to left. One inning later, senior first baseman Brendan Skidmore took his turn, drilling a two-run homer to left. 

Up 10-0, BU plated five runs on three hits and five walks in the ninth. 

Herncane and Skidmore each had three RBI and freshman designated hitter Justin Drpich and junior Paul Rufo had two hits each. 

Binghamton next plays a four-game set at Virginia Tech beginning with a single game Friday in Blacksburg, Va.
