Brig Tison became just the fifth Patriot in school history to have a hit in 20 consecutive games but that was the lone bright spot on Saturday afternoon as the Patriots fell at Old Dominion, 14-0 in Colonial Athletic Association action.

Tison wasted no time in pushing his hitting streak to 20 straight as he singled up the middle in his first at-bat of the game. With one out in the top of the first, he drove a ball into centerfield to join Eddie Jordan, Greg Deares, Stephen Johnson and Chris Burr as the lone Patriots to reach that mark. Jordan holds the school record at 25 straight, set in 2000. Deares held the record before him when he hit in 23 straight in 1993. Johnson hit in 21 straight in 2001 while Burr was the first player in Division I school history to reach the 20-straight plateau when he reached that number in 1992. Tison is the only player in school history to have more than one hitting streak of 17-or-more as he put together a 17-game hitting streak last year.

Tison, Mick Foley and Jake Kalish all had multiple hits for the Patriots. Joe Burney led ODU going 4 for 4 with two RBI and four runs scored. Chris Baker and Brandon Shelton each had three hits and multiple RBI.

The Patriots (16-24-1, 4-16 CAA) had base runners on in eight of the nine innings but stranded 10 and hit into two double plays. Ben Tomchick picked up the win for the Monarchs allowing eight hits and two walks in eight innings while striking out seven. Erick Baker pitched a scoreless ninth. The Patriots used four pitchers in the game and none could keep ODU (20-20, 12-8 CAA) off the board as the Monarchs scored in six of the eight innings in which they batted.

In the first, ODU used two singles and a steal to take a 1-0 lead. In the second, the Monarchs put five on the board as the inning began with a Burney single and Nate Hartman followed with a home run. Then, with one out, Kenny Stoneback doubled, and with two outs, Brent Frazier had an RBI single, Josh Wright singled and Baker had a two-run double. In the third, a leadoff double by Burney and an RBI single by Hartman chased Mason starter A.J. Johnson and Michael Bowie came on to retire the side. He allowed a meaningless hit in the fourth but ran into trouble in the fifth.

The Monarchs led off with inning with a Burney single, Hartman walked, a sacrifice bunt moved the runners up and Stoneback's sacrifice fly made it 8-0. Back-to-back RBI doubles ended Bowie's outing. Branden Bartlett came on and after giving up a run-scoring double, he got a ground out. In the sixth, a Shawn Sizemore single was followed by a Burney homer to make it 13-0. In the eighth, three singles pushed across a final run for the Monarchs against reliever Sean Cabrera .

 The Patriots and Monarchs will conclude their series on Sunday when they play at 2 p.m.
