The Hoyas wasted little time in getting on the scoreboard, opening up a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first. A walk, wild pitch and single put runners on the corners with one out before McCabe lifted a sacrifice fly to score Weisenberg. After a walk, Nelson drove in a pair of runs off the wall in right-center field.
 
Georgetown doubled its lead with three more runs in the bottom of the second. With two outs, Ruedisili launched his team-leading 10th home run of the season over the right field fence. Weisenberg followed with a double before Davis lifted his third homer of the season over the fence in center field to give GU a 6-0 advantage.
 
Maryland Eastern Shore scored three runs in the fourth inning and two more in the fifth to cut the lead to 6-5.
 
The Hoyas broke the game back open with three runs in the bottom of the fifth. Eddie McCabe (Norwalk, Conn. / Norwalk) led off with a single and came all the way around to score on a double by Achecar into the right field corner. Nelson followed with his second double of the game, a shot into the gap that tipped off the centerfielder's glove. He went to third on the play at the plate and ended up scoring when Alex Gamache (Lake Forest, Ill. / Lake Forest Academy) lifted a pinch-hit sacrifice fly to deep left field, extending the lead to 9-5.
 
In the sixth, Weisenberg doubled with one out and, after a wild pitch and a walk put runners on the corners, Achecar drove him in with a single into right field. A walk to Nelson loaded the bases before walks to Gamache and Alex Rosen (Newport Beach, Calif. / Corona Del Mar) and a Matt Stone (Westport, Conn / Staples) hit by pitch all forced in runs, providing the final score 13-5.
 
Game Two: Georgetown 4, Maryland Eastern Shore 2
The Hoyas did not allow an earned run and three pitchers combined to strike out 10 batters as Georgetown completed the sweep.
 
Carter Bosch (McLean, Va. / Potomac) started on a pitch limit and went 2.0 hitless innings, striking out five.

The Hoyas opened the scoring in the bottom of the third inning as McCabe and Ryan P. Davis (Oak Hill, Va. / Oakton) each delivered two-out RBI singles to score Rosen and Matsko, respectively, and give GU a 2-0 lead.
 
The duo of Bosch and Weeks were dealing on the mound, not allowing a hit until the fifth inning. However, two hits, a walk and an error scored two runs as the Hawks tied the game 2-2.
 
In the bottom of the sixth, Stone was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning. Lotsis laid down a perfect bunt for a single and both runners moved up when the pitcher threw the ball away. Achecar followed with a sharp single back up the middle to score both runners and put Georgetown back on top 4-2.
 
Lamon shut the door in the top of the seventh to seal the sweep.
 
The Hoyas will hit the road for their final road trip, traveling to play Seton Hall in a BIG EAST Conference Series. The games will be played at St. John's home field in Queens, New York as Seton Hall's field is under construction. Friday's series opener is set for 3 p.m. while Saturday's doubleheader will start at noon.
