HAMPTON, Va. – The Bloomsburg University baseball team completed its weekend sweep over Newport News Apprentice School with a 4-0 victory over the Builders on Saturday afternoon at War Memorial Stadium in Hampton, Virginia. 

The Huskies gained the lead with a three-run third inning and added an insurance run in the sixth as four Bloomsburg pitchers combined to hold the Builders scoreless and to just five hits throughout the game.

Offensively, Wyatt Metzger (Selinsgrove, Pa./Selinsgrove Area) led the Huskies with two hits, a run batted in and a run scored.
