Brig Tison set a new school record on Alumni Day as the junior hit safely in his 26^th -straight game but the Patriots fell to Towson, 12-5 on Sunday. Tison, a second-team All-CAA performer last season, has had a hit in every contest beginning with the March 22 game at Georgetown, and as a result, he broke Eddie Jordan's record of 25-straight, set in 2000.

Tison's single came in the bottom of the seventh inning, his final at-bat of the game, when he singled through the left side of the infield. At the time, the Patriots trailed by two and that brought the tying run to the plate. For Tison, it was his 80^th hit of the season. He entered the week leading the nation in hits and looks to be at or near the top of the list when it comes out early next week. It was the third time during his hitting streak he extended it in his final at-bat.

Chris Cook , Zack Helgeson and Dan Schafferman all homered for the Patriots (18-28-1, 5-19 CAA) but the Tigers (20-21-1, 11-10 CAA) scored five runs in the final two innings to break open a 7-5 game. Dominic Fratantuono was 2 for 3 with three RBI for Towson while Brandon Gonnella, Ben Winter, Chris Wychock, Andrew Parker and Nick Natoli all had multiple hits.

In the second, Towson took a 1-0 lead when Steve Rice singled and Wychock doubled to bring him home. Helgeson hit a two-out solo homer in the bottom of the inning to tie the game. In the third, Fratantuono singled, went to second on a sacrifice bunt, took third on a deep fly ball and scored on a single by Parker. The lead grew to five runs in the fourth when Rice walked, Winter hit a one-out single to put runners on the corners and Gonnella singled to make it 3-1. Fratantuono added a three-run homer to make it 6-1.

In the fourth, Schafferman hit a one-out solo homer and with two outs, Shane Davis singled and he scored on a Helgeson double to make it 6-3. In the top of the seventh, Towson used a lead-off double by Natoli, a sacrifice bunt and a single by Austin Harclerode to make it a four-run lead. In the bottom of the inning, Nick Allen singled and with two outs, Cook homered to trim it to two.

In the eighth, Wychock walked, Winter singled, and Fratantuono walked to load the bases. A single by Natoli made it 8-5, but Winter was thrown out at the plate trying to score. Pat Fitzgerald followed with a single that brought home two runs to make it 10-5. In the ninth, Wychock doubled and scored on a Gonnella triple. Gonnella came home on a Natoli sacrifice fly.

The Patriots return to action on Wednesday when they host Coppin State at 3 p.m.
